Poor Red Roo,

He is hassled for not making an appearance here and then when he does, he may feel like he wished he hadn't.

Don't get me wrong, I also read these Enhancements with a little concern too.

My three thoughts are -
The positives are a bit bland.

The email says "including a dedicated team to look after your travel needs every step of the way. ". To be honset I thought I had that already with Qantas Premium Desk. If WP loses Qantas Premium help desk, you wont need the internet to hear the screams from WP. In reality it is the biggest perk over gold in terms of functional benefit (1st class lounge has no real function).

I don't like moving from your top tier (we can exclude CL as that is invite only) to your second tier (ie Platinum instead of Platinum 1). Q has offended my ego. And while it may be called a loyalty system it is really an ego system.
