I'm on your side wilsoni. Ok, so some people are saying you might get a better response via the phone, but that's besides the point. You have to answer emails faster than 2 weeks, and if something cannot be done via email, it should be explained why, and they should make the effort to call you, especially if you have status.
I can say that they definitely do any of those things, even with Platinum. I had a missing points claim; Qantas failed on many counts, then when I emailed them about it, they put all the impetus on me to rectify their (many) failures.
Inability to response to emails and saying you can't deal with things over email doesn't really cut it in this day and age.
and the reason I prefer email is because I don't like to waste my time dealing with peripherial issues like QFF issues in my life. I hate having to do ANYTHING to fix their mistakes, but when I do, I can send off an email any time of night and not have to put on hold, etc.
If my boss emailed me a request to do something then I just ignored it for 2 weeks I would deserve to get fired.
Perhaps I should reveal - I was Platinum, then Gold, now Silver. The reason? Travelling with other carriers (EK mainly) of late because QF has been been a basket case for a while now. So, can agree that Plat gets no better treatment than anyone else - it happened to me too. I'm now trying to use up QF 750,000 miles so I can wash my hands of the whole sorry bunch.

I'm sure you are trying to be helpful, but I'd rather not go into the details here.
