Agree. QF domestic in NZ earns SCs at discount economy rate even on very expensive fares. Only full Y earns full economy SCs. It takes 70 round trips (within your membership year) of AKL-WLG-AKL to earn platinum (60 to requalify), for example.

For the few days left that can ticket a 20 segment DONE4 it is possible to get PG on QF, albeit reasonably well optimised. I'm not sure it will still be possible from 1 June with the 16 segment limit.
