Do QF split platinum into different levels ?
 

Like they do with Golds on BA ? (with gold guest list and CIV scores). Just curious.

No official split.

Early renewal and comp renewal certainly appear to be based on a number of factors including - number of years as plat, avg points, avg spend, random black box :-)

Don't believe regular (onboard/check-in staff) have anything other than 'official' status, apart from the Chairman's Lounge of course.

There is of course the "Partner Gold" level. Seems QF provides a few informal benefits from time to time.

There are normal Platinums, people with partner gold and then there is Kiwi Flyer with 6000+ status credits since August. Benefits include lounge access based on facial recognition rather than boarding passes and cards.

The manifest print-outs (usually clearly visible while you're waiting to use the loo up-front on 767s and 737s) don't note anything other than your QF/OW status.

I suspect op-ups factor in some sort of secret squirrel data - I've received 2 this year, and it's only in the past 18 months that I've been doing a lot of paid J sectors...

I think op-ups are done alphabetically, hence why I havent had one in 3yrs

Op-ups are in my experience few and far between, and while it is fashionable for people with names late in the alphabet to blame it on things being done alphabetically, I do think there is more to it than that.

WIth a surname beginning with "A" I agree 100% with the alphabetical policy.

Would that be Mr. Ozzie A. Aussie? :)

My new name will be Ethyl Aardvark. I'm a quantity surveyor. That should bring back a few memories.

I know someone with the surname "aaronson" and he would always win.

A colleague of mine gets domestic op-ups more often than not (on a number of routes), and her surname's well down the alphabet...

Definitely differentiate between WP PG and WP (no PG). As to above that I'm not sure.

My few QF flights since attaining LTG (and with many thousands of SCs this year) haven't been anything special - other than the usual good service by certain check in/lounge/FAs who know me.

I guess I'll see when I next fly QF in Australia in a few days time if treatment is different or not.

ozzie, no they just note you're an expat and make sure they keep you in whY. J upgrades are for us citizens :cool: :D

US citizens? :eek:

Maybe I should start spelling it Quantas? ;)
