Qantas apologises to frequent flyers with status extensions, lounge passes, points & more reward seats

[kangarooflyer88]

Update:
Points rollover from prior year has happened sometime this evening - I'm now showing 350 status credits in my account for my first day of this new program year and I haven't even set foot on a plane :


One thing I'm a bit confused about is why 250 status credits rolled over when I thought it was capped at 40% of the renewal amount for QF Gold (i.e. 240 points)? Not that I'm complaining since I don't mind having a few extra SCs to get me that much closer to earning QF Platinum this year!

Original wording is:
Qantas will rollover eligible Status Credits earned in the Membership Years ending between 31 July 2022 and 31 December 2022 up to a cap of at least 40% of the Status Credits required to retain your tier.

The terms up to, cap and at least should never appear in the same sentence.

Ok, let's get smart ......use the term...........'a minimum of' for clarity

At least it's black and white in the table:

Normally at end of anniversary year, the SC are all wiped (but added to lifetime SC)

This year there is Status Support - Status Credit Rollover
In this case a lowly 180 SC rolled over from 215 total

A friend got 500SC rolled over from a total 1010 SC at year end which is the max roll over for a WP.

Looks like the % of the cap is applied to the actual SC available for rollover up to 100%
In my case 215/250 = 86% = 180 rolled over

I'd suggest looking at where the 35 that didn't roll over came from. E.g. were they from last year's rollover?

 

[Quickstatus]

35

It appears to be calculated off the % of cap.

Cap is 250
SC at end of year is 215
% of cap is 86

And 86% of SC rolled over which is 215

In my case, everything rolled over, except the SC from last years rollover.

 

[Quickstatus]

everything rolled over

I’ll check again

35 ineligible SCs to rollover. There's no % of cap thing, this is quite clearly documented.

Thanks all I’ve found the 35SC yes it was rolled over from previous year

As an aside, for anyone finding their current year/previous year tallies not adding up, there’s still a bug in QFs IT. When I filter my activity by “current” or “previous” year rather than 01 AUG to 31 JUL, it’s starting from something like 12 JUL…. It‘s been doing that for a year or so….

 

[Quickstatus]

not adding up

Mea culpa I had a boys look

 

[Ansett]

Well my year rolled over NYE and I checked today and whilst 3983 SC have gone There is 1800 rolled over.

Did they add to your lifetime amount ?

Not yet but the wheel isn't showing as any SC earned this year unlike last year.

My year rolled over at the start of December. My wheel shows the 1800 rolled over (as well as the 376 I actually earned in December 2022) as “earned this year”. The “already earned” segment is down by the 1800 they’ve rolled forward. While it’s a bit annoying to my ego that the “already earned” is artificially lowered by 1800, it makes no practical difference in the quest for lifetime gold as those 1800 status credits are just in a different coloured part of the wheel.

Wait a sec, rollover status credits count towards lifetime status?
