Great news for New Zealand Qantas Frequent Flyers
Just received this from Qantas:
We recently wrote to you outlining developments Qantas is making in New Zealand, including the introduction of Jetstar into the New Zealand domestic market.
Our Tasman history goes back to the 1940's and the Qantas Group's commitment to New Zealand customers is a strong as ever.
It's now even easier to retain your Membership status this year
As at 24th February 2009, your Status credit balance is 70. If you earn a total of 150 Status credits this membership year we'll retain your Platinum status for a further 12 months~. This means you only need to earn another 80 Status credits before your renewal date.
This provides a great reason to maintain your current trans-Tasman, Australian and International flying with Qantas.
Find out how many Status credits you usually need to reach Platinum status and how many you earn for each eligible flight.
Offer applies for this year only. Normal rules apply after this year.
You can earn Status credits on all Jetstar flights until the end of the year*
As a bonus introductory offer, you can earn Status credits at the Discount Economy rate on JetSaver and JetSaver Light fares when you register online and travel before 31 December 2009^.
So, you'll be able to earn Status credits on all Jetstar fares, within New Zealand, trans-Tasman, Australia and all other international destinations!

Best part is actually earning on the cheap JetStar flights, which will save me some money in trying to retain WP.
I still will not fly JQ for work and the schedules need to seriously improve from me to consider doing SC runs.

I got it but it does not matter
Kiwi Flyer I do not think that you would have received it if you have already requalified for the membership year.
Still my flying with QF will decrease to the minimum required and NZ will have more of my business, plus QF have given me NZ GE
The worst part is losing contact with some of my Jetconnect favourites.

Still how long will it be before they close the domestic QP? That will show how committed they are to NZ.
