Let's get the terminology correct - IB
*PAYS* QF full base miles on all discount economy fares - it is IB (NOT QF) which decides who gets what on what fares on various programs. It is IB which pays the $$$$ (or whatever) to the program (which the passenger gets, via points).
So it is not QF that is the good guy (and other programs the villains) but IB deciding who they wish to lureon to their flights.
And so far, QF has not announced any mile expiration policies as long as you fly once every 2 or 3 years.
You don't even need to fly, you just need point activity - this can even be a family transfer.
