How long does it take to receive new membership kit after qualifying for higher status?

Hi all - does anyone know how long it generally takes to receive a new membership card after qualifying for status? I qualified for Platinum on October 30, from Gold, but haven't received the new membership kit yet.

My experience is with VA, so may be completely irrelevant.

But I qualified for Platinum on October 31 from Gold, and my kit arrived today November 14.

I'd say 2-3 weeks is a reasonable time frame for these things. If it doesn't arrive by Friday, then perhaps chase it up then.

You will be treated as P from day one, even without the kit.

@newbieADL I also recently qualified for platinum and had to ring Qantas for the new cards. They said they sent it but I ended up getting a new one sent. I did get the kit. Worth giving them a call. But as @Steve987 rightfully says you are treated as Platinum without the kit and new cards.

If you have the Qantas smartphone app, select "MY QFF" at the bottom right of the screen and if you swipe left it'll bring up your card barcode and status.

I just qualified for Qantas Gold and the pack arrived 3.5 weeks after I achieved the status tier.

When I went up a level, it was about 3 weeks before I received the new card.

Can’t comment on Qantas but I went from Velocity Red to Silver to Gold in 2days. But I received my Silver membership in the mail one day then the next day I received my Gold membership. Haha. Only took about a week.

Thank you for all your feedback, as of writing, I'm still yet to receive the kit. I appreciate the suggestions re the app, that's something I was aware of, but as this is my first time reaching Platinum, I was a little excited to get the physical card. Sad I know!

My kit arrived today! So my experience was just shy of a month to recieve the kit, after qualifying for higher status.
