Hmmm ... seems the recent web site revamp may have introduced some hickeys. 
If status is likely to drop down it not normally happen until a few days into your new "year".
It used to be that, in that situation, the review date would still show the previous year - going by this that is no longer the case.

So...got a phone call from QFF Exec Relations this morning explaining why it takes 3 days for the assessment to take place; but didn't answer the question on why everything was re-set as a new Gold member (i.e. 0/4 QF flights flown; re-assement on 30 Nov 2015 etc). Anyway I was offered Double Status Credits for all QF ticketed flights for 90 days starting whenever I would like to help me reach Gold ASAP. Although a very nice gesture, unfortunately I only have MH booked for the next few months. Luckily they are all J-class so should get Gold quick enough anyway. I do appreciate Qantas taking the time though to call and explain (especially as I am in Singapore) and offering an alternative.
One good thing is that my account has reverted to my old Qantas Club membership (which I forgot I had!!) and lasts until Mar 2016!! Each time I get Gold I guess it gets extended. Only thing is I can't use the Singapore Qantas Lounge if I fly non-QF Oneworld flights - the Singapore Qantas Lounge is amazing! And the cocktails (my favourite - Chocolate Martini) are brilliant.
So for the next couple of months it will be the MH Lounge here in Singers - quite awful in comparison, but better than nothing I guess - no complaints!!
