Qantas Platinum Soft Landing

[AIRwin]

Good news is I made PC+ so I have started with 100 SC and with plenty of flights booked in 2025 I'll make the 500 to keep SG.

Enough for Platinum?

Enough for Platinum?

I doubt it. We've got 4 rewards flights plus 4 AA and 2 BA paid flights booked in 2025 so will hit Gold OK.
Reality is, I'm a solid Gold FF normally. 1st year of WP was due to sick parents, 2nd year was status support so the ride was good while it lasted.
But, I didn't get much additional love in the air and only hit Hobart call centre 60% of the time. So apart from the Emerald lounge access my flying life won't change much. Although I do have WP bag tags to flaunt and try the DYKWIA thing

I knew it had to end but still is hard to read.

So good news with the bad news.

They were definitely quick off the mark with the downgrades this time around. None of the higher status lingering for a few days....

Yep. First log in this morning about 8.30am went from black to gold with status and flights still showing from last year.
Logged in again about 10am. Status and flights nada.
But, when I achieved WP it was just as instant going from gold to black.

No offer to retain Platinum by paying for it with points? (does QF still do this?)

I only had 365 SC at the end of the year. Popular consensus is closer to 1,200 SC the more chance of a points offer.
