"When you reach Qantas Gold status, for example, you automatically get Oneworld Sapphire status which gives you a guaranteed set of benefits, including airport lounge access across the whole Oneworld alliance."

IMHO that is a brave call....

Brave indeed.
Unless flying in a business class that does not come with lounge access (Qatar).

To me "automatically get Oneworld Sapphire status" is the incorrect grammar. QF Gold is the equivalent tier of Oneworld Sapphire status.

Lounge access is not "guaranteed" for myriad reasons, even where eligibility criteria is met. Plenty of posts on various forums attest to that.

I qualified for fast track Gold Star Alliance Gold via my HSBC card. And I am still waiting. HSBC directed me to Star Alliance's website. Apparently I was supposed to get an email from Star Alliance but nothing. There is no phone number, just an enquiry form which I submitted many weeks ago but not a peep. Has anyone qualified and know what I am supposed to do?

As a long-term Aeroplan SuperElite (100K), I'm still waiting for Star Alliance to introduce one or more levels above Gold.

I don't see a world where they would do it. Unless I'm missing someone, the only airline to offer F class is NH, SQ and LH. Those 3 probably have no reason to want other *A members access to their top tier lounges besides their own super elites and F pax.

And honestly whilst I like using my OWE benefits , it does feel like you've gotten more than you should sometimes.
