My guess also... If so, I'll just stop with QR and Oneworld in general

Based on recent, ahem, “enhancements", it surely cannot be something “good”, can it...having just made QR Plat I am now seriously considering switching to BAEC for all flight credits.....

Better book redemptions before they devalue the programme any more. I suspect popular routes to have a premium, and seasonal variation to be incorporated, especially as their promotions typically have black out dates. Having higher seasonal costs as a deterrent would save them manually having to filter data.

It seems as though they aren't interested in Qmiles spend, so maybe the programme will be sold to a private company to make it worse.

Indeed Seems the world of FFP is moving to revenue based schemes, etc. etc. etc.

There's been a minor graphical update, I haven't had time to dig down into any of the functionality. But it looks like platinum cards may now be coloured platinum rather than black. No doubt emails will be sent once the software changes are all up and running

As far as I can tell, this literally seems to be it!

I really don't understand QR's colour scheme for QRPC generally, it's slightly funny that burgundy colour means the lowest tier of QRPC or first class, silver/platinum colour now means the highest tier of QRPC or business class!

I think we've been expecting too much from the imbeciles sitting in the office.

Seems to me another exercise by some middle-manager who sees the need to do something to remain relevant in the office, sigh...

Considering other ffp devaluations, no change in QRPC should be considered as an enhancement

I also wonder if this is why they still haven't dispatched membership pack for my tier renewal in December...
