Thanks for this. I have not used any vouchers (wine/hotels) that I have received so far ... I forgot that I had the vouchers until last week when I was looking at my profile. Talking to QF now, will update on the outcome soon.
The 100SC rollover is the biggest differentiating factor between PC & PC+, and makes it well worth aiming for the 350K over the 150K threshold in my opinion.
Update: spoke to an agent in MNL, who looked into the issue and told me that the voucher code has been used last year. I have no recollection of using it. I had to make a few phone calls and later realised that I gave the code to my colleague to do their hotel booking.
Just compared dates in September on this:
Struggling to use your Frequent Flyer Points?
Frequent Flyer Concierge takes the hard work out of finding award availability and redeeming your frequent flyer or credit card points for flights.
Using their expert knowledge and specialised tools, the Frequent Flyer Concierge team at Frequent Flyer Concierge will help you book a great trip that maximises the value for your points.
Yes, agree and would take any enhancement as a bonus. I rarely request upgrades but it would encourage me to do so; imagine PC members with no status would have little chance of success with current flight loads though.
Wonder whether this would be worth its own thread topic…? Something akin to the best status run thread.
It’s up to 100 status credits earned in the prior membership year, but yes, as long as you have earned them, they will roll over as a PC+ member.
I sort of posed a similar question a few weeks ago. Most of the good PC “status runs” (aka points earners) tend to have their own threads (QF health, Optus promos, etc).
I started answering my own question here….
Yep, the various QF Insurance ones (Health and Car) are generous and have their own threads.
I’m reluctant to switch since I’m on Grandfathered plans for each and will cost more in the long run.
The Red Energy offers come around every other week - 15k plus ongoing pts per spend.
Haven’t really compared that.
Superhero upto 36,000 pts is doable - just need to check the fine print:

I just noticed that LJ Hooker also gives pts for leasing property. We have an apartment already managed by them. I must remember to trigger this offer if we issue a new lease agreement!
I was pointed to the various Woollies gift card promos (EDR -> QFF). Not something I’ve done in the past (but a hobby for others) but at least the money spent is still going on something you’ll ultimately need anyway.
I suspect the credit card companies would object. There’s a very fine balance to be struck between QF marketing their points to banks as an incentive to recruit loyal customers, and QF encouraging churning. IMO the PC+ already sits on the wrong side of that balance (ie I don’t believe it is reasonably attainable without churning) and higher levels would make it obvious that QF were encouraging gaming of the system - plus would be of interest to very few customers.
True in some, perhaps many, cases but I earn a large number of points without card churning and I’m sure others do as well
