Qantas surveying members about spend-based status attainment

[33kft]

While my spend is much lower in retirement, it will now be my life’s work to make sure Qantas doesn’t get one cent of it.

I'll never get people on here. There's just a steady stream of people joining to have a whinge. But it's about the airline that hasn't implemented this, hasn't stated they will, and the only evidence they "will" is a survey?

Go lie down, take a valium, and if you're lucky enough to still be Platinum in 2027, @clifford will send you some flowers to celebrate.

I did that survey last week. I made it clear in my responses that following Virgins spend model was a huge turn off, and rated bum in seat flying as my top preference. Upvoted DSC promos over credit card or shopping SCs as DSCs still require you to fly.

All my travel is also now 100% personally funded, I don't want to see those who have businesses to channel company spend through without flying QF get higher status.

QF already allows you to transfer points between family members, but if you need to use your kids or partners SCs to get status then sorry but you don't fly enough to deserve the status.

If they are going to make changes id prefer they require something like 50% of SCs need to be earned on QF metal than move to $ spend over fare class + distance.

I disagree totally...if I want to spend my company $'s on partner flights to achieve status, then I will.
