Qantas FF announcement 20 June - "biggest overhaul" in program history

[sxc]

.

There are more projects around the actual existing status tiers going on behind the scenes. Some changes in that area appear to have been deferred from the original batch of "enhancements" bandied around for this announcement. Watch this space.

This is what we should be worried about and sounds like it will be announced via email softly.

75K is a big number.... but it makes perfect sense to gift the really heavy flyers with something.

Flying F on $$$ & points seems to be a far more logical way of securing top benefits .... you're not locked into one airline or an alliance that could look very different in the multi years to come.

Is this announcement being live streamed today?

 

[kitkatff]

I'm 190SC away from LTG, if they change that before August I'll be livid

 

[AlanPieFace]

Can someone live stream the entrance to the building. I have place 200 orders with ubereats for alan joyce.

'Points Club' anyone?

'Points Club' anyone?

''One hundred and fiiiiiiiiiiifty (thousand)...''

 

[TheInsider]

Exclusive...

There's no changes to W/J/F fuel fines for now.

All premium cabin fuel fines for international will be reduced, not just Y. Effective 18 September 2019.

If LTP is 75000 SC, then LTP1 if introduced would be at a crazily high SC count

 

[TheInsider]

Also something else interesting.

"Now, extra availability will no longer be accessed solely based on members' tier. Members can access additional availability based on their engagement and behaviour in the program "

As someone with less than 1,000 lifetime status credits, this part of any changes doesn’t concern me at all (although I feel for those who will be). My main interest is in redemption rates and with a trip being booked in a few months time I am interested to see how many more points I will now need to earn in that time.

I would say an extra 30% for premium cabins.

12-15% in most cases is what I've heard.

Correct, but upto 30%.

MEL-SYD for example will cost around 18,200 for a J seat (up from 16,000). And around 10,200 for an upgrade on a non flex ticket.

Seems to me that they want people to use points for Y rather than J or F then

Hasnt that always been the case ?

 

[Ansett]

Yes but with a drop in points and an increase for J and F then it enforces it even harder.

 

[scottlu13]

Probably mentioned but cards are going to show how many years member has held current status level.
