Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[kermatu]

Congrats PF!!

If allowable, can someone point me to a thread here or on FT that discusses merits of crediting to BA and ways to convert from QF (if possible)? I have 11000 QF SCs at them moment. Got LTS mid-2014. Had a big couple of years though it will slow down in future. Lifetime platinum/emerald is very appealing!!

Congrats PF, I hope to join you in the LTG club soon (ish).

Sitting on the fence
Will continue crediting to QF for P1 during this membership year. That gives me plenty of options over the next year or two including BA and AA. I think I could get LTP with BA with some careful planning

It's a Nice feeling - congrats.

If only BA allowed pooling of Tier Points with Family Accounts Without that - I've got no chance.

Good planning and good luck.

Congratulations PF!
I am in a similar situation, should reach LTG at Christmas time, merely 3 years after LTS.
I don't know why, but for me there will be a sense of relief that I will have lifetime lounge access flying Qantas and One World (subject to any changes to either program!), no matter how little I fly.

Woo-hoo!!! LTG for me after today's flight (13997 with 40 to credit from this morning).
LTS in Oct 12, three years later and many posts read and absorbed on AFF and I'm there
Noticed the 0900 was an A330 business suite and asked nicely at check-in to be swapped to that flight.

All OT but I don't think there is one specifically. I've asked the mods if it's possible to create a BAEC forum here to put all the BA stuff together.
The experts would be TonyHancock and beardoc on switching from QFF.
I've heard anecdotes (none recent) that there may have been a BA contact able to match to P1 a while ago.
No easy ways to convert as such.

Congrats Princess Fiona! I have almost reached LTS so long time to go before I reach LTG. Enjoy!

Hopefully you won't have to rely on it any time soon

No worries. Thanks for reply. I'll do a bit of research and maybe contact BA direct at some point. Also OT but just flew with them and was surprisingly impressed (other than ridiculous J seating).

Hopefully not

I am currently sitting on 13818, due to fly home tonight which will give me another 120. Another 60 for the 50% bonus offer will leave me on 13998 (if my maths is correct). So near, yet.......

And I've ticked over on the website. I'm looking forward to my letter (underwhelming as it will be) and have kept my BP from yesterday's flight

 

[pagingjoan]

Congrats from me, too, PF. And welcome to the Club - although, as an ancient person, it's so long since I passed that milestone, I have no memory at all of the event.

MrP received his LTG letter yesterday. Maybe I should frame it? I would have liked some kind of Gold on it. Says if he drops from WP he will receive a new Gold kit. I'd say we have over a dozen Q tags currently, in all shades.

I'd say we have over a dozen Q tags currently, in all shades.

They sell well on eBay. As a family we converted the cash into Champagne. Easy enough to print swing tags when needed.

I have a bunch of other "stuff" that should probably be sold on eBay. Perhaps I should start a test case with the Qtags I got.

Happy wandering

Neither do I . Certainly never kept the letter.

Congrats too - it must be starting to get quite a big group - Mr FM is only 600 sc off as well, although it might take him awhile to get there.

Congratulations Princess Fiona!

Last time I sat on the fence it hurt.

Did you choose the correct fence? If you don't pick it correctly then the pain is beyond paling. :mrgreen:

Congratulations, PF! LTG is still such a long way away for me...
