If one attained Silver FF status, and joined the QC, one was merely one plus the other, not a "QC Silver". I can find no reference in any documentation to a Qantas Club Silver. What is it, if anything?</font>
It is just the way that the QF computer system treats you as.
I get QC Silver printed on my boarding passes and shown as on the online summary. If I wasn't a Qantas Club member, I'd have FF Silver printed instead. My Dad (a platinum member that hasn't paid for QC in years) has FF Platinum on his boarding passes and Frequent Flyer Platinum on his online summary.
I've always assumed that QC means you paid for club and FF means you haven't but you might get in with Platinum or Gold anyway.
As far as benefits go though, you are 100% correct. You merely get benefits of one (Silver or higher membership and the few benefits it gives) plus the other (QC membership and the few benefits it gives).
There may be something more to it but I've never experienced it.
