Qantas Frequent Flyer

Annual? First time I've received this and now almost ten continuous years at WP..


I do like how their magazines have always glamourised travel. I wish they've produce one about the reality of most Qantas Frequent Flyers:
- Journeys by taxis with drivers that won't shut up
- Queuing and then waiting for the queue to wait.
- Delays and figuring out alternative arrangements
- Hotel rooms and the the joy of avoiding $15 cans of soft drink
- Meetings that question why you left home at all

Let's make them Qantas specific

- Waiting for your priority luggage to appear on the carousel after 200 bags have already appeared
- Force closing the Qantas app to get it to refresh or show a boarding pass
- Gritting your teeth, smiling and nodding through some awkward/overly scripted CSM greetings
- HUACA several times until you get Hobart

Now thats the one they should send to WP/P1 members with the cover letter "all this yet you still remain loyal"

Any word on the P1 Christmas Gift this year (champagne or gin?)

Any word on the P1 Christmas Gift this year (champagne or gin?)

I have heard it was apparently to be back to bubbles and not the gin.

However, it's getting on a bit for the notifications of packages to go out (Or I am back on the Sendle list ) so one starts to wonder. Perhaps they will start this week....

Last year, I (and many others) received their gift around 13/14 December so this week is my money

Took my first flight post reaching P1. SYD-ADL in Y. Received an upgrade to J but only realised when I looked at the app on the bridge. I don't remember hearing any special tone at boarding. Got a nice 'welcome to P1' greeting from the CSM.

That’s nice indeed especially rare to get an upgrade from zero points upgrade the welcome to P1 is fairly scripted imho I always smile back knowingly. Thanking them for the effort.

G'day All

I achieved P1, which, is nice, my first time. I am a big fan of wine and was going to take up the offer for the $100 voucher. No idea where to find some email or promo code saying this is it. Do I contact VIP or can I find it in the app or someplace else?

Seems - like most other P1 benefits - it too may have been "enhanced*" in 2024...

My QF Xmas PJs arrived tonight.
A lot of chatter on the socials about AusPost Notifications etc.
None for me, these just turned up unannounced, but very welcome

I got them too! My wife rolled her eyes and said 'more QF pyjamas Too bad it's too hot for them here in Sydney at the moment.

No notification about P1 Xmas gift though - hopefully not just the pj's!

Through a series of lucky events, this imposter has made it to the lofty heights of P1 off the back of a DSC family holiday (i.e. status run) to Bali. I ended my last membership year with around 2600 SC, and wasn't expecting Status Hold to carry those SC over and give me a stab at P1.

I also owe thanks to @elanshin for a double yolker, and JL for bringing the 777 to Sydney - IYKYK.

The benefit I'm most looking forward to is lodging CR and P1 priority upgrade requests for my extended family. I think I might have just missed the boat for any Christmas PJs/wine deliveries but you can't win them all.

Hopefully P1s are getting more than these PJs. They started handing out the grey ones in J yesterday. The one size fits all indication is a complete lie, as is to be expected.

Gin again for NZ p1s.

Congratulations, looking forward to you sharing your perspective and tips as a P1! Don't forget to update your AFF profile

At some point I'll drop and have to leave this thread. Without a single event invite I can make use of, no PJs, no prizes, I'm clearly SP1 (scum).

The benefit I'm most looking forward to is lodging CR and P1 priority upgrade requests for my extended family.

This has been the best benefit for me (although of course longhaul still needs a lot of points).

And I've just received an Aus Post notification for Qantas Wine... we'll see! Bit late this year but would still be nice to have.

 

[Fergo747]

Just received my AusPost notification from Qantas Wine. Hopefully arrives by Friday as I am away for two weeks from Saturday!

 

[Ansett]

Just received my notification too. How exciting lol
