Merry Christmas gift from QF Loyalty

[Gold Member]

1160 SCs from AA YUPP/KUPP and 4 domestic zone 1 sale fares... I can't wait for my JW Blue!

 

[TonyHancock]

Couple of bottles just turned up here!

(Delivered on a Sunday )

Yeah. We've had the postie and a parcel delivered today. Strange. Unfortunately, none from QF but TKWIA.

As indicated they use the epiQure service - I've had 'dozens' delivered on Sundays this month.

I got one too, but in a wooden box, one of the bottles was Grange, and the letter was signed by AJ

Are you serious? I wonder what sets you apart from other Platinum Ones!!??

He is AJ! :mrgreen:

Same here. Penfolds Grange 2007 + Penfolds Bin A Chardonnay 2007 + signed letter. Many thanks to QF for this gesture.

For those getting Grange - are you being told you are one of their Top 200 flyers or any other hint why you've been singled out for the "Grange treatment" versus a couple of bottles of cheap plonk?

I think Jobu was the one (from another thread) who earned ~11,500 SCs in a year.

There are probably some staff and customers that got very excited hearing about a wooden box with AJ's name on it!!

ever since this thread started ive been occassionally checking back to read the various posts...and each time i LOL at SOME of the fragile egos that have been bruised... "why did they get this??" ... "how many SCs does such n such have to get that??"... "why havent i got mine??"" ...etc..etc..etc... the OP was probably thinking they were just posting a nice good gesture story...and now look at the can of worms its opened!! (but sadly im not surprised!!) THE TRUE MEANING OF CHRISMAS IS ALIVE AND WELL ON AFF

Bruised egos? That's a bit of a stretch IMO. We should remember that lots of people here like to find out about the inner workings of things likes this, hence questions that try to measure the whys and wherefors.

Yep - that's the one.

I'm not sure that the "true meaning of Christmas" and corporate gift giving are ever particularly connected! I agree though that this was always going to be a can of worms given the seemingly random nature of the gift giving. And yes, for the 2nd Xmas running as a P1, no QF gift received at GDV Towers.... ;-)

 

[mella2007]

I say good on those who receive something! Anything extra is a bonus! And for those that didn't...that only means good karma from the upgrade gods will come your way in 2013!

 

[markis10]

Just so long as the upgrade gods were not Mayan!

 

[Sprucegoose]

Well if you received something enjoy....if you didn't lets hope 2013 will view you more favorably!! I try not to compare myself to others there are always some better off and some worse off.

 

[mella2007]

@markis. Lol

 

[Happy Trails]

I got the dreaded handshake from the CSM today but it was more than mitigated by the bottle of Taittinger and greeting card in his other hand.
Don't know yet if the postie has left anything.

Edit: And a second bottle on boarding my flight to KTA this afternoon.

Sorry to resurrect this thread, but having previously complained about not receiving a gift, it's only fair to report that I received two bottles this morning from Qantas (27th Dec). Perfect timing for a New Year's Eve drink.
