QR has almost identical allowances for J and F; 40-65KG depending on departure. Plat tier member has +20KG on top, so it is not that far behind.
Do note that AY allowance is piece-concept and ME carriers are mostly weight concept. So the "over 100kg" moniker is true if travelling with 4x 32KG. The generosity comes from both allowing +1PC for tier members, having 3PC base allowance on some destinations (n.b. not all!) and at the same time voiding heavy/large bag fee for plats. So that how you end up at over 100kg. For example, if the rule was "void heavy bag fee for 1 bag" then it would be much less generous.
OTOH, on QR I can check in 8 bags each weighing 10kg and they would still be smiling.
