The earn/ burn ratios don't concern me too much these days, if I want to fly someplace for leisure on a certain date I'll likely just pay for it. My earning significantly outstrips my burning anyway.
I would add:
1. Lifetime Platinum Status - even at 21,000 or 28,000 LTSCs.
2. More WP benefits extended to JQ pax, particularly as QF have frequently dumped routes onto JQ leaving the consumer with no choice (eg: NTL-MEL). Separate to this, the best thing they could do to enhance JQ would be to open check-in MORE than 2 hours prior to departure.
3. Express domestic security screening @ SYD T3, BNE and MEL. At least at SYD T2 you can take the sneaky entry down near the Aeropelican/ REX gates.
I am pretty on side with
shillard here and agree with everything proposed as I too pay for my leisure and have really used points just for upgrades and been hit with the cr@pstar brand.
But I would like to see a more friendlier upgrade policy, eg like domesitc if redemption seats available then automatic otherwise a standby upgrade cleared 3 days beforehand.
