Just catching up with this excellent topic and riveting discussion.

I'm 2 for 2 on QF (being a Plat helps).They certainly depleted the points stock
QF175 BNE/LAX 26 Dec 05 Y>J x 2 (Mrs QF WP very happy!)
QF026 LAX/BNE 12 Jan 06 Y>J x 2 (serious brownie points here!)
I'm not expecting any more Intl travel in the foreseeable future, so burning on Y>J upgrades (scored two this morning PER/ADL & ADL/BNE).
Like
Aisle Seat H,
og and others, I'm unhappy with the QF program changes and the lack of benefits.
Dave Noble has convinced me that I've go to look at what's really best for me, not QF. 17 years of loyalty and I've become a turncoat and now crediting everything (other than red e-deals) to AA (but burning QFF points on the upgrades). I'll throw the red e-deals to QF as that'll get me to Lifetime Silver by end of 2006. So this'll be my last year as a WP but at least I'll be Lifetime Silver and have Lifetime QC.
OMG, what'll happen to my FT name....
