Used the feedback form to request status match. Took about 4 emails, because they think I didn't qualify since my membership year ends in less than 2 months, even though I earned more than enough to maintain Qantas Platinum for the following year. Eventually they upgraded my status to Elite for a trial period of 4 months. Take any international flight with Turkish Airlines within the trial period will cement the status for another 8 months (1 year total)
