@Dan, once they are making big changes, maybe convince them to switch the currency value by multiplying by 50, so we can have simple 1:1 transfers from MR etc. It's the same ratio as UA earning now. Just multiply 1 point for every $10 by 50 and you have 5 miles per dollar like with UA.
Ridiculous increase in necessary points to elite levels. Seriously, what does one get from Silver already, other than an extra checked bag? (And btw, it's currently 500 for silver, not 400 as mentioned in the article linked above)

What increase? SL is 400 instead of 800, GL 1000 instead of 2000, PL 2500 instead of 3000.
Did I miss something?

1500 instead of 1000
3000 instead of 2500

Ditched their program for QF for earn and burn purposes, what a race to the bottom...

The pricing is crazy. Premium from JFK to TLV pricing out at 5,076 points. It seems like they are making all seats available for points with some at saver level and others are a mix of cash+points. And all business class availability wiped from expert flyer (X) class and therefore from Qantas as well
