The real question for me - will soft landings disappear? That's the only reason I would plan on crediting to QF. The date reset "feature" on earning higher status on CX is looking more interesting when combined with lounge access in HKG for CX Silver.

Happy wandering

This will make maximising SCs using an DONEx very difficult.
