Smile Awarded Platinum before achieving status credits!

Qantas reawarded me WP status overnight 90 status credits short of the target... Now I'm not complaining or anything but the goal this year was PG again for Mrs! but my last long haul MEL/TPE in J was on Singapore, so I might have screwed that one up .

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!

Yep, look like they've addressed the end of October members. This normally happens around 8 weeks before your "year" ends.

My reassessment date has changed to 31st Oct 2009 as well; although I've had enough SC's to re qualify WP since Mid November last year.

Re: Awarded Platinum before achieving status credits!

I wish that they had the same attitude to lowly bronze, as Mrs trimmer is 10sc,s away from silver needed by end of oct 2008,I contacted the QFF centre & was told to (take a flight) if she wanted to achieve silver as they do not make any exceptions even though she has other flights soon after October.Congrats on your luck.

Anecdotal evidence indicates that while Qantas may often 'comp' a member's status requalification for a level they rarely, if ever, 'comp' a member to a higher status.

In Mrs trimmer's situation; if she takes the flight she will qualify. Next year, if she is 10 SC's short with two months to go she would quite likely be 'comped'.

In summary, Qantas will generally make their members earn status by the book, but are more lenient in regard to retaining status.

Re: Awarded Platinum before achieving status credits!

I'd agree with both of serfty's comments on both the questions posed.

v8Stateman, perhaps the computer saw yours, created an exception report and sent it to be looked at my a real person .

Deal, Although the 350ci Chev packs a reasonable punch.
