Qatar Airways status match to Virgin Australia

[morfergus]

Seems like a whole batch approved. My platinum status match approved overnight as well. My wife is still waiting on her gold.

 

[freebo]

Yes, when flying internationally.

Also when flying other oneworld carriers (assuming the First lounge is open).

But not domestic? (Do QF even have F lounges for domestic, I've been VA so long I don't even know).

But not domestic? (Do QF even have F lounges for domestic, I've been VA so long I don't even know).

Other than at SIN, all Qantas First Lounges are located in airside dedicated departure areas, so no access unless international.

 

[MikeG]

No word yet about my VA Silver status match. Has anyone else with silver been matched on Qatar?

 

[jase05]

My Platinum matched and also my wifes Gold.

Might well decide to earn Q-Miles on any Qantas trips I take in the coming year.

So, this gets me into Qantas lounges on domestic trips yeah?

I might be wrong but my reading of it is that you only earn on domestic legs that are part of a International trip.

From the Qantas website:

"
oneworld lounge access for frequent flyers by tier status
Enjoy exclusive access to premium airport lounges around the world with Qantas Frequent Flyer Platinum and Gold status. Members of oneworld airline frequent flyer programmes with the equivalent of oneworld Emerald or Sapphire tier status can use any lounge offered by any oneworld member airline when departing on any flight marketed and operated by any oneworld member airline, regardless of cabin class being flown.
"

So now I'm emerald I can access QF First lounges even when flying QF economy?

what a feeling when not boarding in the same direction with fellow lounge users

Or there’s a last minute terminal change to Terminal 4 on the other side of the airport and you see all the great shops and food court that Jetstar and Tiger customers get, while if you don’t have lounge entry, the best you get with VA is a boost juice

I didn’t receive the status match yet. I’m currently Platinum velocity but also Silver with Qatar already due to some business in Doha. Anyone else not receive it?

Still waiting on a gold match here too.

 

[Rubix]

Got mine this morning!

 

[Stealthflyer]

Still waiting on a gold match here too.

I'm still waiting to hear back on my Platinum match as well. I'm glad I'm not the only one.

 

[Trin Trin]

No match for me yet either (Gold) - but I did receive an email overnight acknowledging the Velocity statement I had to resubmit. Fingers crossed!

No word yet about my VA Silver status match. Has anyone else with silver been matched on Qatar?

Krisflyer Silver (for my wife) matching confirmation received last night as well. Submitted on 19/5 (one day after me) with confirmation received only an hour apart.

Hope you have received the approval confirmation by now.

My match to QR Gold came through late last night, reading that email was a good start to the public holiday here in Victoria. I sent my initial match request with an activity screenshot but then proactively obtained and subnmitted a VA statement last week. My work travel will start up again soon and I'm looking forward to having the option of the QF lounge. Hopefully VA survives in a full service format and I can continute my relationship with them secure in the knowledge that VA Gold is locked in until the end of 2021.

I'm in the category of not received anything yet (Gold Status Match). They did ask me to resend my statements as they could not read them from the email I attached) on the 29th May.

Question, has anybody received their status match had to re-submit some details after submission?

It's possible that all the matches were the ones that went through cleanly and possibly another batch for the ones that had to resubmit details.

For those that were successfully matched, what is the status expiry listed in your account? I’m wondering if I should wait a little to submit my follow up docs if it means I get a few more days or even an extra month depending on how they batch process them.

The expiry date shown on my digital card attached to the confirmation email is 6/6/2021 (confirmation received yesterday evening (7/6)

In my case, submitted 19 May afternoon (photo of card and pdf prints of velocity page and velocity transaction history), generic email 1 June (didn't ask for new docs), still waiting for anything further.

I was asked to resubmit documents which I did. The notification on my QR dashboard said the issue was resolved on May 21. Last night I received advice I'm now QR p platinum.

Hi all. Thanks for the tip off, now Oneworld Sapphire. Don’t expect to be flying much over the next year, apart from domestic and Pacific.
A few questions if anyone can assist?
Does Sapphire give you Qantas Club lounge access if flying Jetstar? If flying Qantas Classic Reward flight? Domestic and international.
Are we likely to retain Qatar Silver status in a years time if we don’t requalify for Gold?

I wasn’t asked to resubmit documents. I have received a match yet. I don’t think there’s a correlation
