Do you still have the pay the one-off joining fee if then deciding to join the QP?

You are making the assumption that LTG will always have complimentary lounge access as a benefit. Time will tell....

Although that could happen, I think it's unlikely.

In any case, I believe I covered this with the use of the adjective probable!

I'm in a corporate scheme, and when I made Gold (which was, albeit several years ago, so maybe things have changed) I was told that my membership was suspended until I dropped below Gold (which hasn't happened yet, so I don't know definitively what will happen).

My posts in this thread describe the consistent experiences posted by other posters here on AFF and FT in regard to this very topic.

I have not been too focused on LTG as i know its no for sure thing that it will be always around or have the same features and i am QC life time anyway which i think should retain lounge privs. (Since thats the product they sold)

Before the recent changes, my status always showed as Qantas Club Platinum. I assumed this was because I had a suspended Qantas Club membership. With the new website, it just shows Platinum. Anyone else noticed this?

Just checked mine, and it shows Qantas Club Silver which was the same before the changes. Not sure if this has anything to do with the different grades of metals from Platinum to Silver?

Thanks localknowledge, how ever I think Silver would still show that as Silver does not grant Qantas Club on its own.

Love to know what other Gold and Platinum people have seen.

my Lifetime Gold account just says Gold. And I technically have about 18 months of paid Qantas Club membership on hold since last decade, waiting for my Lifetime status to expire .
