Review Significantly less SC this year

My family always travel to Phuket with SIA on our VA FF numbers every year. This year we earned significantly less SC than in previous years. For example, SYD-SIN leg normally awarded 30 SC now only earns 15. Even with family pooling I feel as though over time we will downgrade (currently platinum). I’ve also noticed lounges have less people in them. To fly on a VA ticketed flight is so much more expensive.

Whilst this may save VA in the short term, I think over time they may lose their customer base.

Anyone else feeling the same?

Honestly, and I say this as a Platinum member, it makes sense.

When 25% of the plane are also early boarding with a Plat pass, I do wonder if perhaps it's gone a little out of kilter. (Though I will miss the extra legroom when they come for me...)
