145 status credits required to achieve Gold by end June 2011

[fromheretothere]

Hi everyone,

New to this forum and hoping that someone with much more experience than I may just have the answer I am looking for

I have 300,000 ff points
currently silver status
need 145 status credits to achieve gold
ex Sydney

I do have trips planned over the next 12 months where the gold status would come in handy.
Just wondering if it is worth the money to achieve the 145 status credits by end June?
What would be the easiest, cheapest option available please?

Thank you so much and look forward to hearing your responses.
Best regards
Angela

And don't forget the miles you will actually be getting 8166 miles for this ticket as well so the actual miles cost will be it will be less then 72000 miles...

Thanks very much for the info, I am looking into it now. Thank goodness for FFP the return trip to Perth bus class is $3000!

I mustn't be crazy enough as I feel very strange taking a flight to an airport lounge and coming home again

Do you mind to please tell me where the status points table is on the Q website? I have seen it referred to here but after having searched I still cannot find it.

Thanks so much

Does this look right to you? I found the status credit page, thanks. It states 160 status credits Sydney - Cairns return.
Sorry the proper format does not cut n paste but I think you get the idea. 72,000 points plus $88.00.
