So only 6 months then ?
Thank you
your welcome
You're welcome

Not what it said when i commented…
Excuses.
Hope you like boiled eggs for breakfast and ham & cheese toasties for lunch and dinner. That's mostly all you get in the major capital cities other than salad.
free alcohol
Wouldn't really call it free when you paid 400 bucks for it in the first place ;-)
How much do you manage to drink in the time you are waiting for your flight??
4 drink minimum
if you use the lounge frequently enough you can easily do $400 of booze not to mention food & other. Remember you get a +1 on your membership so 2 adults in the lounge a few hours before departure…… TBF Qantas Business lounge (which you have access to for international flights) makes it worth it if you can use it enough
@Irishness: But if you use it that often= fly that often, wouldn't you accumulate enough point to get FF status soon enough?
@BlueDiesel: very true
years ago my company paid for my membership until I got to gold, was a bit of a waste of money as it only took me 4 months to gold but was a perk of the job@BlueDiesel: this. At $400 you'd need to drink about 40 beers (at about $10 a beer) to break even. At a 4 drink minimum, that's still 10 flights a year. Domestic, you'd probably still not qualify from Gold for that but you'd get close.
Only after the bar opens. QC is pretty bad now so they can upsell the nicer lounges.
Also applies to renewals (including those obtained via Points Club Plus)

$270 or 39,000 QFF pts.
Per the T&Cs at the bottom of https://www.qantas.com/au/en/frequent-flyer/the-qantas-club.…
This offer is not available to Points Club Plus members
Interesting. The website lets me click through (but didn't try the final step - I'm on track to keep PC+ so don't want to risk paying for QC)
Worked for me, added an extra year for 39k points.
But Qantas Club comes free with Points Club Plus
Yes, but it expires when your PC+ expires. So you can pay for a renewal so you still have access after PC+ expires?
I’d prefer to wait for my remaining 160K points clear!! C’mon NAB & St George!!
Was a club member and used to support Qantas never ever again they took 30000 of my frequent flyer points with no notification no explanation no email I called them email mailed them they never responded to anything after weeks I gave up still no response to this day that was 3years ago b4 COVID I'll never fly with them or Jetstar ever .
Oh yes, they don't answer contacts at all. They are a premium airline.
I wrote a complaint about them cancelling my seat 5 days before my fly date for no reason back in early Feb, they sent an email yesterday telling me they have not forgotten about my "enquiry" and will get back to me as soon as they can…
Their call centres are appalling….it takes forever to get through and when you do their staff often lack critical knowledge.
It took me 12 months to have a $3500 refund for a cancellation they were responsible for.
Alan Joyce hang your head in shame !
I never understood Qantas Club, because I figured how can I drink and eat that value every year? Then I got it. You travel for business racking up the points and using the club, then when you go on a * family holiday *, your partner and kids come in for free. Your family is then more forgiving of your incessant travel when they get the exclusive club feel after the melee of the departure lounge. I like the lounges and my boiled egg. :)
If you travel enough for business, you get Club access with Gold membership for free. Paid membership is for people who don't travel enough to get it free, and I don't see the value there. Even at $300 a year unless you are purposely turning up hours before your flight and drinking lots of grog several times a year, it would be hard to get value for it and really who is going to turn up hours before their flight. I'd rather show up as close to boarding as possible (transit wait times aside).
Even if it means once a year you can bring your partner and kids in with you.
Showers are pretty useful on long layovers + free food + free food. Juuuuuust worth it for my family (2 adults + 2 kids), but only just. We travel 2-3x per year OS together and I travel 3-6 times per year for business by myself.
It's also a FBT exempt item, so makes the net-to-pocket cost easier to justify if your employer allows it to be salary sacrificed.
Qantas have gone completely mental. They are currently charging $1200 return from Melbourne to Sydney, flex is closer to 2k. If they think they can rely on business travelers to continue flying the company I work for sent out an email yesterday to the travelers distribution group recommending that we only travel if it is absolutely required due to the price of flights. I work for a large multinational so I'm guessing smaller companies are doing the same
Business?
Economy, for next Tuesday. Got the quote this morning from our corp travel partner
It's called the free market. You can choose 3 other airlines for that route - Virgin, Rex and Jetstar.
You should probably find a new corp travel provider. They're obviously adding a lot of 'padding' to your bookings.
I just had a look at next Tuesday on Qantas' website and for Red e-deal it is ~$700 and for Flex it is ~$1000 return MEL > SYD from Qantas. Your corp travel partner has a hell of a margin.
I flew last week, $527 return. Its the Tuesday after the F1GP so that is the likely cause. I have flown Syd - Mel a few times this year and paid no more than that.
some flights are a complete piss take domestic wise at the moment
I have been flying a fair bit for work until some minor incident in some Chinese lab a bit over two years ago. Enough to have lifetime access.
But even without that I would never ever pay for a club membership.
IMHO: Either you fly enough to get a higher status after a short while anyway or you simply put up with it those few times you fly.
I am not sure what it is like at the moment but prior to C the service in the majority lounges was average, food was free but that was the only good point about it.
But even taking free drinks into the equation I cannot see the return on investment in paying that much for an annual membership.
And last but not least: most lounges have been totally packed in recent years, up to that point that I often did not even bother anymore.
Only real advantage I cared about was priority check in and extra luggage allowance - but i am not sure if you get those with Qantas club membership?!Worse than pre-covid IMO. There is no buffet options at all. Back in the day, you could grab some ham, cheese and bread and make a toastie. Now you need to ask for everything to be done for you and the options are even more limited than they used to be.
This. The breakfast options are a roll, ham and a boiled egg.
Best time was when the QC at Brisbane Domestic hadn't reopened yet, so they redirected everyone to the Business Lounge which had excellent options.
my breakfast tomorrow hahaha
Brisbane Domestic was doing the buffet option with the toastie 2 weeks ago. Thinking about it now, I should have been a little more hesitant to grab food but I didn't get rona luckily.
Qantas has basically became Jetstar with a red livery. 2-3 hours on the phone to sort your flights out when they cancel them,basic food and you’re doing well if you can manage to get 3 beers out of them on an over priced flight to Bali.
Jetstar doesn't deserve to brought down to the same level as Qantas. Jetstar actually answers the phone and responds to your chats.
And with JetStar at least you know what to expect: What you pay for is what you get!
I understand Qantas had to slash costs to survive / not rack up some serious debt during the pandemic but AJ (who came from a low cost airline background) also used it as the perfect excuse to get rid of stuff that previously he wouldn't have gotten away with
Frustration is real with their contact centre.
1. It took 2 hours to have someone answer my call. And yes 2 hours.. not exaggerating.
2. I was not refunded 54000 points for an upgrade of a flight which I had to change.
3. The agent took 30min to work it out and then said oh yes, let me put you on hold and process the refund.
4. 20min later, sorry can’t do it as the system is not letting me and I am not sure how to do it.
5. Told to email frequent flyer to team with this claim.
6. It’s now a full month, I am still sitting in a limbo.2 hours you're doing well. Last time I called them, it took 4 hours and I'm Gold and go through the priority queue.
I'm currently at 2 and half hours as we speak.. Thank god for pixel assistant listening for me, if I had to listen to the hold music I would have given up straight away
Do they still use the child shreaking in English and native aboriginal to the tune of still call Australia home? God that is homicidally irritating.
they didnt know how to do it!
That is a joke
$400 for a few orange juices and a coissant? pass
a $99 joining fee? excuse me
Its actually cost you more to book with your refunded credits.
Terrible company with terrible customer service. Avoid if you can.
Are they accepting entry from those who wish to not take part in this global human experiment of non approved injectables?
Christ you complain a lot mate
40% of people agree with my post though.
i had a similar experience with Qantas in Feb flying OOL to SYD. Had to change flights to a day earlier. Waited on hold for nearly 3 hours.
CSR who finally answered was fine about changing the flight and all of that, but i'd asked for the same time 24 hours previous day. CSR said there wasn't any flights available.
I had to give CSR the specific QF flight number (and yes it was QF not Jetstar) and then CSR was like 'oh yes'. Changed flights but never received any confirmation. Luckily, myself, my wife and young child were able to check in and board the flight. But I did have a clenched anus up until then.
The fact that there's no buffet post covid and you've gotta order from a crappy list of sad options makes it an absolute dealbreaker here.
Bloody covid.
Qantas Lounge in LA and Singapore are tits. Use them all the time. Only worth it if you get it free from status or if you pay, go more than twice a year.
Edit: with the family that is. Not for one person.
Stop supporting Qantas… Horrible horrible company
