Be at least 18 years old
Earn at least $200,000 per year

        the following comment is just because I cant afford it and am a sore loser

        but I think airline status is so pointless,
        ive looked at the benefits, and you get the usual express checkin, lounge access, double status credits, extra luggage which is all nice perks but hardly worth much

        i dont know why people do status runs just so they dont lose their status

        id happily pay $50 for the perks but if I was flying as much as it requires to get status, id expect it for free

        • trotsky on 24/08/2019 - 14:05
          +1

          You don't get double status credits, but you do get an increase in points. In reality it is not any of this in particular, I say this having status myself, it's the fact that you are flying a lot and get to take advantage of some differentiators that make your life easy.

          If as a platinum I fly somewhere on even a budget fare, I still get to check in using the first class check-in, where I'll get an express card to bypass the line at screening, once past that I'm then sailing into the First Lounge, which is Qantas Club > Business Lounge > First Lounge, ie it's not the same old lounge access but one where I can have a sit-down table-service meal while I wait. All of this saves a lot of time.

          I don't have to eat shitty plane food as I got fed properly at the airport after sailing through security and then getting priority boarding on the plane, where I don't have to fight for overhead bin access. Some of the time, the seat next to me is empty because they'll try where possible to keep it that way for Platinums and above. If I need things moved around they get moved around. If my travel agent at work just rebooked me onto this flight and I got assigned a shitty seat, the first class checkin person will see it and fix it on the spot. You can consider it fine tuning for those who spend too much time flying, not some incredible secret society that someone would want to spend large sums be a part of.

          This is why it's so meaningless to get there with status runs, I agree with you. If you can't maintain the status you probably get little benefit from it. That said, if I were 40 SCs away from platinum and faced with falling back to Gold, I'd be pretty silly not to take a weekend trip to the Gold Coast to requalify, and in a way that is a status run, so I guess many of us are guilty of it even if we claim we're not. The gap between Gold and Platinum is considerable, but even worse is that if I requal Plat I get it for 1200SC, if I fall to Gold I need 1400SC to get back there. So a lot of the chase is inherent to the system.

            I read a lot on other travel forums, and the number of people doing status runs is very high

            a couple of years ago, I had a friend from europe pop over to australia from europe for 24 hours to do a status run, I imagine it might have cost her $1000, I cannot see the value of throwing $1000 down the drain to maintain the difference in dropping down a level

            @trotsky: I'm 200 points off platinum - and yeah looked at the idea of the "status run" - and it made no sense to me in order to be able to get into first class lounge and a couple of other minor advances to gold.

            Like you said - if I was at 1380, maybe I'd look closer but meh.

        Those losers. Flying QF even if CX costs less for the same flight.

        Some like to brag about their status credit… and can't imagine how their life will be like without corporate travel… bet most wont even folk out for prem econ out of their own money.

        • Samsungnote10 on 24/08/2019 - 15:50

          It is prettty sad those that brag about getting something from work

          • trotsky on 24/08/2019 - 17:22

            @Samsungnote10: This is ozbargain. If you travel for work, you credit to a loyalty program and get some benefit out of it. Only a total dipshit would pass that up and be none the better off for it, which is what you two seem to advocate?

            Also perhaps the brag is someone explaining that they have the status? Which tends to be necessary in any conversation about it and what it entails given so many people talk absolute drivel and either make it out to be a massive scam/ego trip (such as the discussions right here about either "bragging" about status or doing status runs to achieve it) or over or underplay the inclusions (which are pretty ho hum but are neither amazing nor useless).

            It's just minor recognition for people who funnel money into the airlines. Tip: airlines don't give a toss whose money it is, only that you keep giving it exclusively to them, or at worst one of their alliance partners. Getting status on your company's dime is not anywhere near as shameful as it's made out to be, as airlines know as well as anyone that a traveler will continue to target their flights rather than the cheapest flight of the day if they give that traveler benefits to make it worth their while to do so.

            If the employer puts in policies to stop this, suddenly they have a less happy employee, they might save $100 off a flight but they'll have 0 availability next time they need someone to fly out on a sunday because ain't anyone there trying to get those last few SCs before the end of their anniversary date.

            I mean if it really upsets you just remember that in order to get this status, they're stuck sitting next to fat smelly middle seat dwellers commuting 5 hours when you commute 1 only to have to do the same amount of work. Super glamorous.

              -1

              @trotsky: No, the difference is significant (sometimes close to double). I usually pick a reasonable priced flight (hence got upto silver at most - flying at least two long haul a year for work + other personal travel, and points spread across all 3 different FF programs) - unless layover is ridiculous like 2 long layovers oppose to one. Oppose some would go for a $12k QF flight over a $7k CX, or 9k SQ flight.

              The same as my friends that charges to government account as well QF will always be more population than VA.

              And yes, a recent personal trip to europe, a "corporate traveller" eager to show off his "gold" status tag, being the first to stand in the "priority" queue… that didnt last long until we went our separate way into the cabin.

              • trotsky on 24/08/2019 - 20:10

                @[Deactivated]: CX and QF are alliance partners. They codeshare flights. Nobody is paying $12k for the same $7K CX flight when you can earn QFF points and SCs on both. You're talking shit.

                And yes, a recent personal trip to europe, a "corporate traveller" eager to show off his "gold" status tag, being the first to stand in the "priority" queue… that didnt last long until we went our separate way into the cabin.

                Why shouldn't he? It's his right as a Gold status holder to stand in the priority boarding queue. It's a benefit he has full entitlement to on International flights as a Gold, which you do not as a Silver. And if they were Plat, they'd have priority boarding for both Domestic and International. So you're upset that a higher tier status holder used priority boarding?

                Or more importantly, as a lower status holder you expected them to subject themselves to your lower conditions. Which they might have done, but after reading your view of them I suspect they probably found it a welcome escape. If I was him I would have gone to the lounge, had a few drinks, escaped just before boarding and used the priority line to rip straight past you lol

                  @trotsky:

                  1. No. QF codesahre with EK via middle east to europe. CX via HK. Both oneworld, but CX is not deemed an eligible flight for status upgrade.

                  2. He does, the ego only lasted as long as he walked into the econ cabin when we separated.

                  3. So far only been flying business for personal trips. No lesser entitlement.

    • casey2 on 24/08/2019 - 13:45

      It's a totally useless card unless you are already going to be doing a family vacation where you are spending over $12,000 in flights.

      You can use the card for 10% off 4 flights. If you travel PE to Europe, that's $4000 each… so instead of $16,000 for the fares, it's $14,400… The card is therefore -$400 and you get all the other benefits.

        agree, 20% bonus status credit is on eligible flights (ie Qantas only). I've been platinum for two years now and ive been in the first class lounge about twice (dont get me wrong, its bloody nice, but not worth paying $1200 to get)…most airports have lounges you can pay $50 to get into these days so save your dosh.

        PS…I havent had a single upgrade on Qantas in the whole time ive had Platinum….not worth the hype peeps.

        Get the ANZ card, 1/6 of the cost - roughly the same points, use them to upgrade to business and you get into the lounge by default.

          They need ozbargain much more than the people struggling along on Centrelink who know how to live cheap because they have no choice. I do shake my head at the wealth just pissed away.

            We're grateful we don't have any financial hardship but $200K doesn't give any family an extravagant lifestyle in Sydney.

              @Sharp: I understand you won’t feel rich, but imagine how somebody who works full time in retail (annual earnings approx $50k) feels. They don’t get to pay off a Sydney mortgage or a German car, their kids don’t get a suite of after school activities, take away is occasional Dominos and dinner out is for a birthday only.
              Living and working in Sydney in a white collar occupation is a bit of a bubble compared to the bulk of Australia where full time wages of half the population are under $80k, and plenty of people live on a carers pension or less.

              I can understand that a lot of people would love to have the struggles of budgeting on a high salary, but they are unlikely to get the chance.

    A bit confused… So you receive Platinum Level Frequent Flyer benefits for life? As long as you stay a cardholder, or a year is good enough?
