Quick question about QF status tiers

[The Flying Schwartz]

Just wondering how QF status tiers work when you don't earn enough SC to maintain your current tier. E.g. If gold but don't make the 250 SC for silver, would I drop down one rung to silver or all the way down to bronze?

Thanks for your help!

Just drop one level, so to silver. If you're close to gold could be worth hanging onto as there isn't a lot of difference between silver and bronze.

Great, thank you for the quick reply @BAM1748 - helps in deciding whether a status run is worthwhile. Cheers!

How many status credits are you short of and when is your current tier due to expire?

Not there yet, my year has just ticked over so I'm considering if chasing status this year is worthwhile. I intend flying J or PE where I can. My partner has already attained points club and I'll get there this year. I have a couple of domestic trips coming up but would need a status run to get to gold.

There’s an easy 50 SCs available with QF Green Tier if you’re prepared to forgo about 3300 pts and ~$17. See my post #657:

Qantas Green frequent flyer tier

So as an update, I just got my green leaf for carbon offset and can confirm it landed at the exact time the points earned for the carbon offset spend were added to my account. So that leans more evidence towards an offset requiring to be at least $1 and paid with cash to actually land the leaf...

Whilst you can knock all these over in ~48 hrs, the trick is to hold off on one (eg the “Give Back“ donation) until a month or so from the end of you’re status year. You can then either take the 50 SCs in your current year (to get you over line) or take it at the start of the new status year for a 50 SC head start.

at a "cost" of only 3300 points and $17, even the additional +6700 miles is an amazing deal for those who have no need for the 50 SC's.
