Qantas Platinum One experiences?

[sudoer]

Doubt LTSC plays into it

Don't think anyone can say definitively, but Qantas has customised the comms for it, so its likely to play some part

In my case/s it stated "...as a valued Platinum One member who holds lifetime recognition......"

That’s a new one, I thought QF had systems to ensure only the person flying could have their FF details on, sounds like an error (possibly in your favour, unless your mum is chasing points/SCs).

Maybe it had to do with your booking via the VIP team rather than yourself online? Maybe they somehow mistakenly entered your FF details on her booking and the system let them?
Was it an ‘Enjoy your flight’ upgrade on the boarding passes?
Does your mum happen to have the same first initial/similar name to you (eg. Peter/Peta)?

I think it must have been something to do with the VIP team creating the booking.

My mum has a different first initial and she still accrued points and status credits despite my FF being on there.

All the upgrades she received had the standard wording at the bottom of the ticket from the VIP team. I assume those are processed manually, so somebody must have seen the different first name.

Anyway - weird one!

Not sure that PCV played into these elements as I haven't been travelling nearly as much as I used to and still was lucky enough to receive the upgrades and CL invite. I haven't heard of a CL invite in recent months so suspect they have stopped that for the time being

True, one year I had 7,000 SCs earned that year and no CL passes, but others with less did get passes. Same with upgrades some of my lower SC P1 years have had more upgrades than others.

I wouldn’t over complicate it. I believe it is more dependent on the surprise and delight factor at that particular time.

Separately, the Songbird event in Sydney last week was another fantastic event. Was great to meet a few other P1s and hear some thoughts from the top.

Was that a P1 event? Any thoughts you got from others that you can / want to share here?
