I really couldn't distinguish if it was complimentary extension, or a renewal based on requalifying. If the former, I'd like to reply and thank QF, but inform them that I requalified of my own accord. I'd prefer the complimentary extension when I may actually need it. That said, it probably doesn't make any difference now that it's done.

I phoned QF and they said as long as you keeping getting the SC to requalify yourself you will not use up your 'complimentary extension'.

Those on the thread who've reported being status downgraded are because they have failed to obtain the relevant number of SCs - not because of the 4 x segement rule.
nologic if you decide to put this to the test, let us know what happens...

After discussing the situation with QF FF and reviewing future travel plans, they agreed to renew another year. I would have been surprised if they took a different approach to segments than to SCs, having clearly shown a propensity to renew for so many people, including myself previously (althought I didn't need it).
I can see lots of evidence that QF says it enforces the rule, amplified by 17 pages of comment on 4 segments enforced for QF status (merged thread) but little actual evidence - i.e. no WP seems to have actually put it to the test.

For those who are comp'd status for another year, Qantas does keep track of it. Will Qantas comp again? Perhaps. Perhaps not. The inner workings of why and how they comp isn't public knowledge.

Thought I dig out this old nugget for a question. It might have been answered before but here goes:
Just checked my QFF account online and noticed that my Status Reassessment date is now sometime in 2012. I swore it was 2011 a few days ago.
So hypothetically, if I reached Gold/Plat in the near future (Silver atm), I will hold that status for a tad under 2 years. More importantly, I will have that amount of time to earn enough SC to requalify?
Anyone in a similar situation?

Not necessarily. What is your full status assessment date? If it's in July/August then your status credits will reset to 0, so you will have reach the qualification levels of SG and WP.
If your gain a higher status prior to that, then you will enjoy that status for at least a year.

Currently, it is showing 31 March 2012. If it makes any difference, I've already re-qualify for Silver in this current membership year. And have done the required 4 QF segments.
So back to my original query, if I reached Gold or Platinum in say 2 months time, will I still have my Status Reassessment date of 31 Mar 12 or the month when I reached Gold/Plat, eg. 31 Aug 2011?

If you reach SG and/or WP in two months time then you will have that status for the remainder of your "Current Year" and your entire next year (-31Mar11 & 1Apr11-31Mar12).
