Qantas Cash and 'tiering up'
Hi All,
In december I will gain QF Silver (Finally get 4 QF segments) and then in March 2015 I will get QF Gold, what happens to your Qantas Cash card. Do you have to go through the reactivation phase each time? And does your current balance transfer over?
Thanks,

Otherwise the rest of the process I think goes smoothly... everything transfers over.

I changed status last month and everything transferred without a hitch after I activated my new card. Interestingly I noticed the expiry date on the back of the card (ie the MasterCard facility) was three months later than the expiry date on the front of of the Qantas card . I wonder how this works.

When my status changed and I was issued with the new card, the Mastercard number remained the same. The funds are, after all with M/C not QF. It had to be reactivated but this was easily done via phone. There both an Australian number and an overseas number on the M/C side of the card.

The expiry date on the front of the card is for your FF not your Mastercard. Think of it as two cards in one, each with a different function.

If you are overseas I had read the old card becomes invalid.

I was in Australia when the status changed, however the old card remained valid until the new card was issued and activated. It was valid until that point though, not when my actual status changed as there was a time delay (two weeks) in actually issuing the new card. I'd imagine it would be the same overseas.
I'd also imagine it is a reasonably common occurrence (status upgrade or downgrade in the middle of a journey lasting more than a few days and probably away from home country at the time), so QF or M/C must have a way of dealing with it. There is the overseas number on the card.

If anyone is likely to be in that situation, might be worth calling QF cash to see what the current arrangements are.
