I was excited to receive my Qantas Frequent Flyer (QFF) Silver pack this week, and thought it would be a novelty for SQTalkers : here's what it contains :
Welcome letter states that I will be a QFF Silver member from June 07 to Dec 08 (19 months : very generous !), with extra 10kg baggage allowance and 25% bonus miles.
Attached is an invitation card for a one-time visit to a Qantas Club lounge, valid till Dec 07 (another perk SQ Silver level doesn't have. I read the T & A carefully, and it doesn't say its not transferable (anyone can clarify about this ?) , so I may give it to someone who is flying QF later this year.
On the left is the membership card, and on the right are two luggage tags with rubber ties. The luggage tags are quite well designed with slide out portion for writing name/address. I will attach these to some of my luggage just for fun.
Folder with brochures : (L to R) QF merchandise (rather overpriced I think) , membership benefits, Qantas club benefits and fees (A$600 for one year ! Seems expensive considering you just have to reach Gold level to access the clubs ?)
Verdict : quite an enjoyable pack to look through, and features that are better than SQ KF Silver level : generous 19 month membership, lounge invite card (small token but much appreciated), slightly better designed luggage tags.
. There is a chance to get LIFETIME Silver and Gold status too (gasp !)
Disadvantages of QF FF : no SIN-based support phone number to call; poor earn/burn rates (I was told) with no 15% internet redemption discount, poorer internet website (IMHO).
Comments, anyone ?

) - besides the general oneworld benefits, you get a 100% bonus on QF/AA/BA, entry to BA Arrivals Lounge on long haul QF/BA flights to LHR, guaranteed seating in Y, more baggage allowance, F priority tags...etc You're also at the top of the QF list of upgrades using points (QFF doesn't confirm upgrades at time of request - you go on a waitlist and the upgrades clear based on demand), apart from Chairman's Lounge which is the invitational tier - apart from extremely busy routes like LAX-SYD or JFK-SYD midweek it's rare that your upgrade requests will fail to clear.
