Qantas Platinum One experiences?

And an invite received for the Billy Eilish on the 28th Feb in Sydney, shame I am flying out from MEL to BNE on the 1st lol. May have to juggle some flights around.

As a newbie P1 who just recently got mine, I have 2 general questions;
1. With the Welcome Pack, does it just rock up at your house, and if so, how long after reaching P1 do they send it?

2. When calling to travel to release CR seats via the normal QF bookings, does entering your QFF on the phone re-route to the VIP line?

Congratulations! RE Q1, from recent experience I would say 4-6 weeks. No action required by the member.

Took 3-4 weeks for mine but might have been delayed by Christmas. The welcome kit includes a personalised folio which might take a week or so for them to source.

Yes, but did you get a welcome phone call yet? After the call they sent me an email with the P1 specific number.

I did get a call while I was on a flight, but I didn't leave any voicemail, so I just left it at that (recent spam/scam calls). But I did get an email later saying that the VIP team member tried calling me to congratulate me on attaining P1.

On the app itself, I have a number now, which I assume is the P1-specific call line. Additionally, that email by the P1 staff had a phone number in their signature, so I saved it for my contacts as well.

Welcome JB to the 'club'.
The hardest thing about this membership is keeping it. I was reminded by Qantas recently that I was behind with my status credits to keep P1 for the ensuing year. Apparently, we only fly to earn SC's and with 6 weeks to go, 1200 behind and 1050 booked. It will be close.
