No - but fortunately it was not necessary as (because of StarAlliance membership advantages) already in the past, I was 'doing' more with LH, UA, AC, TG, Ansett (RiP), Air NewZealand, SAS and OS (as long as OS did fly to Australia) and qualified as SEN originally with LH 's miles&more.
I never had any special status in the
Qualiflyer program, but used their miles before expiry for an ultimate Qantas first-class return flight to Australia from London (Melbourne Australian Tennis Open).
