Totally agree. If you want to keep Platinum then make sure you do the necessary flying to qualify and not rely on being comped status.

No argument here.

I think most people see it as a bonus when it happens. When you are expecting to get downgraded and then you get comped another year, it is good.

I'm sure that QF do it on a whim just so they can see our discussions on Boards like this and have a laugh about how we are attempting to work out a method when there probably isn't one - I can see their smirks from here.

serfty, whilst that is true (I fly domesically K or higher - international has been rare in past couple of years but have had a couple of paid J's or discount Y's to SWP), I was only ever comped once in my 4 years of Pat re-qualification....

I'll have to dig my numbers out and have a look...how one forgets quickly.

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?

I got comped to retain gold (due to expire end-Oct) after only earning 345 status credits in 12 months, and no current travel plans with Qantas

I think there is some method to it, but I doubt that we'd ever figure it out with the information that we have.
