Cmon guys (generic terms). I nearly had a heart attack when reading that bit about status credits only being given on QF.
Then I had a look at the brochure.
FROM THE QF WEBSITE:
Status credits determine your membership level (Bronze/Silver/Gold/Platinum) in the Qantas Frequent Flyer program. They replace your current tier credits.
Every time you fly on eligible flights with Qantas, a oneworld™ member airline (Aer Lingus, American Airlines ®, British Airways, Cathay Pacific Airways, Finnair, Iberia or LanChile), Air Pacific or any wholly owned Qantas subsidiary, we will allocate Status credits to your account. The number of Status credits you can earn on each one-way flight will be determined by your Cabin class and destination.
Am I missing something very basic ??? In which case I plead jetlag :-)</font>
The reference was to tier bonuses - i.e. silver getting 25% extra miles for the flights, gold getting 50% extra for the flights, and platinum getting 100% extra for the flights. Getting these extra miles (and hence points) will only happen if it is a QF flight. If it is BA (or AA, or whoever) P will get the same amount as a discount Y.
Status CREDITS will be the same though.
