Agree #sanj747, although SQ clearly communicated frequent flier changes to all it's members a while ago already. Giving them 2 years (instead of one) to attain or retain status. I hope and expect Qantas to do something similar. I am due to attain P1 status in June but if they downgrade my F cl...

If if Qantas offload me to a partner OW airline (or EK), they should maintain my same status earn as flying on QF flight number. Likewise, if they downgrade me to J class SYD-SIN, F class status earn. Lots of other airlines and even hotel loyalty programs have come to the party for members duri...

At an unprecedented time due to Covid-19, Qantas chooses to launch a brand new loyalty program aimed at big spending??? Did I read that right today? Yet at the same time, thousands of its members are either stuck overseas, or unable to travel for work (their livelihood). Reservations phone lin...

SQ was amongst the first major carrier to take some pressure off it's airline members by extending the status earn/keep period over two years rather than one. Some other airlines have followed a similar suit. Are we going to see Qantas do something appropriate soon?Understandably Qantas needs t...
