LOL, I have enough bookings to have made the points by next week - I think that the status fairy just looks at booked and paid fares and realises its a no-brainer
By the way, if no-one's said it yet, Welcome to FF!!

Mr!
Thanks for the welcome. Have actually been "lurking" here for years but thought I'd finally register so I can put my 2 cents worth in now and then. Have learned a lot from reading here. I'm just a bit of a travel junkie who doesn't actually get to travel nearly as much as most here. Sad but true! (Love flying... probably 'cause I don't do it very often). Get my travel fixes vicariously through friends and on-line sites such as this!

I was wondering if the booked flights I have presently (2x MEL/PER Y, 1 x MEL/AKL J and some shorties, MEL/SYD) prompted them to re-award WP status or if it is some default computer setting...
QF done this to anyone else?
Mr!
I remember a few of discussions on AFF about comping and also my own experience. One of the theories was once you had achieved a certain status, QF would average your SC's over the next few years and as long as your average was still above qualification level, they would comp you. This happened to me a couple of times. The first year I achieved WP, I had about 1800 SC's the next 2 years I was close but didn't quite make it yet I was comped.
Just another possibility...

Yes, it certainly happened to me in my third year of Platinum (a couple of years ago) and I know of others that have had the same averaging provision apply. Didn't think they were keeping with the new "hard line approach" but if it is still being used, then that makes commercial commonsense.

Is it a 3 yr average of 1,400 or 1,200? My 3 year average is 1,258SC (Monster first year) I have not been comped for a 3rd year....yet
