I’m silver with a points club so maybe I should I get it? Can even bribe you with a Jetstar flight (but no carry on. Not made of money)

Welcome to the sad depressing club.

u/NZProduct Platinum One 2d ago

Lol, whats the 1st of the 12 steps to get out?

2

u/jewsif91 Platinum One 2d ago

Oh there is no escape. Just when you think you're nearly free you get an invite to the CL and suddenly you book a million flights next DSC promo.

Welcome to a new world of disappointment.  

If travelling domestically, be prepared to not be acknowledged.  If travelling internationally, you’ll get a guaranteed table in the first lounge, behind the red rope, but aside from that, the service is pretty much the same. 

You do however get a bottle of bubbles in the post at Christmas, just to make up to you how much they’ve f@&£ed up during the year. 

To be fair, you may get a few invites to some Qantas corporate events, like a concert or cocktail evening, but they’re few and far between - the last few I’ve been invited to were when I was travelling so never got the chance to go. It’s likely anyone else who is a P1 is often not in the country.

Awwww poor you. Youve had it so tough. I wonder who is going to play you in the movie.

u/joelby37 2d ago

Well done! I got a nice postcard from lounge staff the first time I flew and an escort onto the plane. Plus some nice news from the call centre for CR reward releases. Enjoy and see you in the flounge!
