QFF Activity Statement Enhancements

[dylarr]

Guessing this was likely written by a dev who doesn't understand the intricacies of the QFF and how the two dates differ.

I suspect you are right here.

Each transaction object from the API has two date name-value pairs: the "date" which is when the transaction posted to your account, and the "activityDate" which really matters (the effective date the transaction actually occurred and what is used for calculating status tier, Points Club etc).

"date": "2021-01-11",
"activityDate": "2020-11-17",
"description": "EBAY 17-NOV-2020",

Looking at the logic on the new activity statement page, they are not using the "activityDate" (effective date) at all. They are relying purely on "date" (posting date). So filtering by "Current Membership Year" for example will never be truely reflective of the actual transactions that matter to your current membership year.

Has the “Print Statement” function gone MIA as a result? I usually save electronically for my records.

but otherwise, it’s good to see the earning by category back. There used to be a dashboard with totals but that seemed to disappear a while back.

I've just noticed the new activity statement only shows the statement entry date for each line, rather than both entry date and transaction date found on the old statements.

An annoying omission given Points Club qualification is based on transaction dates and many Qantas Mall partners take 90+ days to credit points.

Rejoice... just logged on to check some transactions. Now when viewing by 'Date', you can now click on an individual transaction to see actual date that the activity took place.

Example:



There's still some serious flaws with the new activity statement view though... i.e. the 'this membership year' and 'last membership year' doesn't align with your actual membership year (i.e. it thinks your membership start month is one month earlier than what it actually is), and still doesn't take into account the date that the activity took place in order to get a complete picture of activity that happened in a given membership year.

Before this enhancement, there was a trick to viewing statements from earlier periods than those selectable. Have we lost this function now?
I'm trying to visit Early months of 2020 but looks like thats no longer possible.

Sadly like many other websites, I think you're screwed.

I'm not advocating a back to paper society, but with commerce websites which ghost your previous information from anywhere between 6 months and 2 years is not great. If there is the ability of eStatements then that's fine as it's on the onus of the customer to save stuff, but when that doesn't occur (ER, FB, VFF, QFF and other airlines) it's not so cool.

You'd think that like tax records, any record that involves exchange of money or the result of such, should be kept and available for at least 7yrs! For example with my AMEX statements, the last 6 are downloadable, and for earlier, you have to "order" it, meaning waiting upto 24hrs and then it can be downloaded.

Further to @dylarr post from May last year, does anyone have an explanation for the Activity Statement mis-aligned "this/last" year membership date?

My year end is April however today's 30 April Activity Statement shows transactions have been posting to "This" year since 5th April.

I missed this post and have only just realised that my account is doing similar. Apparently my anniversary is now 12 July…. Slightly annoying trying to grab a record of last FF year (now that I’ve found the “Print” button again….
