Qantas extends status extensions until end June 2023 (previously December 2022)

[oz_mark]

I have not flown current membership year. If I understand correctly I just need to book 1 QF flight before 31/May/22 and I keep Platinum for another year.

Thanks Qantas.

Hey stranger

Yes, book by end of May to fly by end of June, assuming your membership year ends May.

Thanks Qantas.

Yes - must be booked by the status holder (so two bookings needed if there are two pax with the same plan), and noting travel on that booking must also be prior to June 30 2022 (not sure if that means commenced by, or completed by that date)

Cheers,
Matt.

I thought so. Thanks. I've got Lifetime Gold and for the travel we're doing Platinum is not worth the added effort but good to keep for another year.

I've just spoken to Qantas about this. They are aware of the issue and are currently fixing it. Most people should have the correct status showing again on their account by the end of today.

I was part of the January 31 debacle, pushed back to silver. Digital status was fixed to gold same day. But they still sent out a new silver card....

Do Qantas Holidays (flights and hotel combo) qualify for this extension ?

As long as you are on a QF flight booked before your membership year ends and flying before June 30 this year.

Wow! And SC rollover as well! With international flying back in the cards now as well, there will be a lot of happy AFFers here. Of course, I can now complain that as someone with a February anniversary, those in November and December are getting a better deal than me and Jan/Feb members should be given a other extension too.

Qantas cannot please all the passengers all the time!

Wow. I had thought they might do a DSC offer before this.

This is great.

More generous than I was expecting

These offers state they're for members "who reside in Australia or New Zealand". Does anyone know what has happened in the past for QFFs outside of A/NZ?

 

[serfty]

Oh Well, At least some of my 630 SC's will move over.

 

[RichardMEL]

Perhaps my shortest ever AFF post

I told you so. For months.

You're Welcome.

Previously was the same extensions without any of the flight booking requirements.

Edit: You can view here on the UK website (unless it redirects to your country)

Nothing yet this time, but maybe just slow on updating the website.

I'll probably make the SC from flying J around Europe on BA,IB,AY (assuming my IB flights eventually post) but the eligible QF sectors has been difficult especially with QF1/2,9/10 being considered 1 instead of 2.

but the eligible QF sectors has been difficult especially with QF1/2,9/10 being considered 1 instead of 2.

That can be resolved by flying indirect e.g. Booking to fly to Sydney and choosing the QF10 flight with a flight from Melbourne to Sydney.

Anyway like you say hopefully those based overseas get an extension without any flying requirement.

Well this is one less Question I need ask Alan and Olivia on Wednesday lol

The rollover provision certainly gives some incentive to fly. It will also help in the following year given that normal operations (what ever that means nowadays) may not be back until '24. It certainly provides some certainty for planning.

I will wait till at least tomorrow before booking just in case there are any issues with the computer systems going by GMT despite what the offer T&Cs say.

 

[MooTime]

Guess I'll make a solitaire booking by years end to keep status going another year, although for nothing really as dislike flying QF due to the call centre absolute debacle. Has completely put me off flying QF while that shamozzle keeps up.

Me too, I was researching what domestic flights I could completed before end of Dec I've already run out of long weekends, I want to make sure Ive flown before end July so that things roll-over nicely.

If it is just a domestic flight on QF metal there should be reason to have to call QF, domestic itineraries can be changed online if needed without any intervention.
