New Next Gen Card and Bag Tags have arrived!

[samh004]

Have any QPNB's received their new cards yet?

There doesn’t appear to be from a glance at this thread, though the original schedule called for those cards and tags to be released in early 2011, along with Silver cardholders. So perhaps they will be released sooner, but no photos or reports yet.

I'm SG and still haven't received mine.

NBs dont receive bag tags.

They have to buy them.

Received mine yesterday (SG-SYD with no ticketed flights).

Yes some people have received the QPNB cards, have seen them at check-in.

I got mine yesterday - my silver ones that is... only in the time I went from QPNB to PS, and they sent out my new cards and tags, I moved up to Gold....

So I guess I wait for another package?

Same boat here.. Went from SG to WP. Got my SG ones but still waiting for WP ones. Hopefully they arrive before I travel QF again..

Here you go, for all those wanting to see a real life one

You missed the QP bit

Good to know, but no members here of that status have received them, or said they’ve received them yet

Nice to see they've left some 'bling' on the WP cards now (the whole shiny/holographic-esque print for the member details).

I do like the new cards. Much nicer than the old ones.

That looks a lot like my one

I think we’d all like to see a CL version though

Here’s a question for you, as you’re in a position to know, how do the CL bag tags differ to all the others? Is there a difference, or are they just Platinum tags effectively?

My new Silver card actually feels more plasticky and less premium compared to the old Silver card they sent me last week. Go figure?

Got mine last week for Gold, but I was due for a new card at 31/12 so maybe that had something to do with it.

I can't feel a real difference between any of my three cards (unfortunately I got WP about 3 weeks after they stopped the embossed ones) but here's a comparison of the three they've sent out to me in the past 12 months...

How did the middle card end up with a "Member Since: FEB 2001" when the other two clearly say JAN 2001?

Wow. You're right. How the heck did that happen *looks at cards again*

Yup. Has FEB 2001. That's... bizarre! It was on the interim Q Chip one, but still, it's quite clearly wrong (My PS/SG/QC cards all have JAN 2001 on them).

I'll grab the bosses when they come in and take a photo for you all.... funny isn't it? I get mine as a "Silver/Gold" before the boss get's his as a Chairman's Lounge!

I’m surprised you didn’t notice.

I should work for quality control I think

Perhaps they’re still hand painting the CL tags

But I’m sure there’d be a few here that are curious, there’s got to be more than just me

Thanks.

Has anybody who has their mailing address overseas received their new cards/tags? My renewal date was October but still got old card...

 

[serfty]

Mine finally arrived; just in time for my next Qantas flight in January ...

 

[Stafman]

Received my PS NGCI package.

My favourite part was the note saying New Card, Same Exclusive Benefits - And More.

So does this mean they are re-instating my priority check-in?

On a related topic, as I am also a Corporate Pub Member, does this mean that the QP card will also have a Q Chip and be issued shortly?
