Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

Their key competitor now has an LTG tier too, so now they are really only differentiating themselves with the LTP tier.

Oh wow, I didn’t know their competitor had LTG now.

The competitors LTG requires 75% of the SC's to be earned flying their coded flights - which has a limited network compared to oneworld. QFF's LTG can be earned without even flying QF - quite a differentiator IMO.

Its already here i mean the QF team has probably analysed the whole changes back to front more than we have here.

There is one exception, which is BA Gold Lifetime (and above).

Technically, if you don't fly BA's sector requirements, you won't get BA Gold naturally (there are also Double Tier Points/Status Credits for BA too); however, once you've hit that limit, you should just become BA Gold Lifetime. Additionally, BA doesn't discriminate their Tier Points accrual as Qantas does with Malaysia Airlines. However, as usual, do your calcs on specific fare buckets to see which pathway is better - it could be QF LTG or BA Gold FL

Made LTG on my flight to Dallas. Though QFF didn't post the SC's for it until a couple of days later, meaning the connecting flight posted first which pushed me over. So maybe it was an AA flight that got me there?

No emails, no notification on the app/website for me at all. If I hadn't been watching my LTG counter I wouldn't have noticed since I never use the digital card.
