How the Qantas status changes will affect you
Feb 27, 2026, 05:47 PMWe all know how Qantas’s last great revamp worked out with the classic plus rewards basically replacing the classic reward seats at 3 t 5 times the redemption rate. This new system really doesn’t bring any benefits. You could roll over status credits in the old system. You will now ne...

Qantas hack: lawyers launch class action compensation case
Jul 09, 2025, 04:16 PMWith the awful communication skills and poor language capacity of these overseas call centre staff I have experienced I am not so sure the outcome would have been the same if Qantas held sensitive customer data securely on shore and in house.

Qantas hack: lawyers launch class action compensation case
Jul 07, 2025, 06:35 AMMost Australians would not be happy with third party overseas contractors having access to their sensitive data.

Qantas frequent flyer changes: more points, higher fees
Jan 22, 2025, 10:14 PMNot really much to be upset about. The rare as hens' teeth classic reward seats are going to be more expensive but they only exist in the imagination of Qantas so we will all just be keeping our points less valuable points same as we do now.

Qantas call centres
Jul 01, 2022, 10:41 PMThe South African call centre is no better. They give you wrong information such as saying there are no seats on flights that are half empty or promising to call back and not doing it.

Qantas phone service (or lack of)
Apr 07, 2022, 01:53 PMThe email sent out by Qantas is just a pathetic attempt at damage control. The email should have been sent weeks ago and something should be done at Platinum and Gold FF wait times immediately. They will definitely lose business.

Qantas phone service (or lack of)
Apr 05, 2022, 07:19 PMI had to give up on my last 2 attempts at trying to call Qantas' so called priority number for platinum frequent flyers. It used to be they would answer the phone straight away.
