Points required for upgrade increasing 2017?
I noticed when making a points upgrade request that there is an increase in 2017. EG, Sydney-Bangkok currently requires 40,000 economy to business o/w.
The system generates a note saying that any flights after February this will be 50,000..IE, a 25% increase.
Maybe a sign that redemption levels for award flights will increase?

It is still showing on Qantas.com/yourbooking as requested at a cost of that 48K, while the newer cost would have been 60K.
If the upgrade is granted, I expect it to still cost 48K.

- For Classic Upgrade Rewards requested prior to 16 November 2016 the Qantas Points required will not change regardless of the upgrade confirmation date.
- For Classic Upgrade Rewards requested after 16 November 2016 and confirmed before 20 February 2017 the Qantas Points required will not change.
- For Classic Upgrade Rewards requested after 16 November 2016 and confirmed after 20 February 2017 the new Qantas Points levels will apply.

I have a booking for April purchased and upgrade requested (@ 48K points) before the increase.
It is still showing on Qantas.com/yourbooking as requested at a cost of that 48K, while the newer cost would have been 60K.
If the upgrade is granted, I expect it to still cost 48K.

The FAQ's say different (as per post #6).
My booking was made and the upgrade requested before 16th November.
