What happens if I've already retained my status, will it still be extended by 12 months?
No. If you’ve already retained your status then you will automatically enjoy your current benefits for the rest of your Membership Year another 12 months. Status extension will not apply.
There is a lookup table based on membership year/

My membership anniversary date is in March 2020, so while the extension will take my membership year to March 2021, I still may not be able to fly for much of this year. Will Qantas consider additional support to help me retain next year?
The situation is constantly evolving, as is our response. We will review whether additional support is required closer to the time.

og about time for what? Don't you think Qantas has enough to deal with and you throw out the "about time" comment after they have just done you a favour. I am sure the many thousands of staff that will be made redundant will be so happy you have regained your precious status. I cant imagine what it is like to live your life needing your airline status to define you. Over the last week or so the comments from people so concerned over points and status is just astounding while we have much larger real world real people issues confronting us, although as long as you have your toilet paper and platinum status all will be good.
Disclaimer: I have plenty of toilet paper, and Platinum status. So I'm good.

Cleary this is a minor issue and as I said in my previous thread my OH will most likely lose his job with the reduction in flying
given I’m now plat for another year- any thoughts on whether I should take my loyalty bonus as SCs or KMs?
about halfway to lifetime silver (!!)

I saw the VA deal and it is way better than what Qantas is offering. Let's see if Qantas will up their offer. But i will not keep my fingers cross. They will probably offer something to get SC points without flying but at a cost.

I am wondering what Qantas will offer with the statement below. Would be nice to earn status credit without flying as I am only 55 credits away from Platinum. Let's see.
"In addition, while you’re spending less time in the air, we’ll be keeping Status Credits within reach through a series of new offers from our program partners. This will allow you to earn Status Credits across the Qantas Frequent Flyer program in addition to flying. You'll be hearing about the first of these offers very soon."

How can I earn Status credit with Points Club and do they count towards Status, Bonuses and Rewards?
As a Points Club member, you can enjoy earning Status Credits on Qantas marketed Classic Flight Rewards. Status Credits earned via Classic Flight Reward bookings will contribute to your status, Loyalty Bonus, Platinum Bonus Reward, Platinum One Bonus and lifetime tiers.
Points Club Plus members get the exclusive ability to roll over up to 100 of their Status Credits into their next Membership Year. Points Club Plus members’ Status Credits that are rolled over from one Membership Year to the next will not contribute to Loyalty Bonus, Platinum Bonus Reward, Platinum One Bonus or Lifetime tiers, and for Platinum One members, will not contribute towards attaining or retaining status.
