Boy, they're really not working hard to make Qantas Club membership worthwhile, are they?
I'm vaguely tempted by Qantas Club membership since I can get it for a reasonably cheap corporate rate. But with the joining fee plus the fact that it becomes a waste of money in any year I happen to earn oneworld sapphire, it's such a gamble that my future flying patterns will be in that narrow band where I fly enough to make QC membership worth a few hundred bucks a year, but not enough to actually earn any useful status.
Sigh. Maybe I should just get the membership for domestic but keep my international flying on *A. Of course under those circumstances I might as well fly Virgin.
