Platinum Newsletter

[Pushka]

I've never received one. Husband gets one randomly.

 

[NSun]

I was told I'd flown 144,458km and was in the top 10% of platinum frequent flyers.

I keep a separate sheet and I'd flown 163km including with other airlines, so it would sound about right.

 

[TripTrap]

You've flown 114,140 kms in the last 12 months and are in the top 10% of Platinum flyers, congratulations

 

[jcwhizz]

I just got the same thing.
I wonder what they are basing the 'traveled distance' meter on. Just QF/JQ? Oneworld? All QF airline partners?

Just QF I think - I did a rough back of the envelope calc they haven’t included my QR flights

For those that do not get the newsletters, check your subscriptions.

You have received this email because you are subscribed to ‘Your points balance and eNews’ emails.

@Kiwi_Flyer 's reports would also suggest you need to have an Australian home address listed in your QFF profile.

We do get qf newsletters in the eastern isles, maybe once a year. Usually includes promotions only available to Oz residents (ie they don't customize for non australians).

Am subscribed, but didn't receive the newsletter. Have received it in the past. I don't seem to be getting many QF/QFF emails lately. I've checked my subs and my Teen's subs (as they go to the same email acct).

Same here. I just assumed it's because I'm in PER. 3 hours and 20 years behind the eastern states

 

[ALH]

Is this something that you subscribed to, or just receive for holding platinum status? Been WP for a few year and have never received an email.

Same here. Probably 10 years as WP and never had a newsletter.

 

[maia200]

I am also subscribed but never had a newsletter.

 

[eminere]

I usually get these but have yet to receive this latest edition.
