I know how you feel Leon. We just joined the Qantas Club (only because I got a 60% corporate discount), mainly for extra baggage (and free beer!) The priority baggage is kinda neat too, first bags off the plane, so you don't have to wait around for hours at the carousels.
We really only joined because we are 5,000 kilometres from (which is where all our families are) and it takes about a days worth of flying and sitting around terminals to get to Melbourne. It's nice to have somewhere quiet to go and relax (and did I mention that I can drink free beer?) Hopefully, they don't change the policy where I work in the near future...

My wife and I use frequent flyer points to upgrade to the pointy end of the plane which gives us more leg room and more luggage allowance.
