Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[serfty]

I have been very quiet on AFF recently, but who else can I share with who would actually care that I hit LTG yesterday?

Boarded QF537 in BNE yesterday on 13998 lifetime SC's, and disembarked LTG.

First hit WP in 2009, 5 years from there to LTS, and with increased international travel in recent times only took 2.5 years from LTS to LTG.

Well done! That acceleration is quite common among AFF members ...

Clocked over to 14019 SCs this morning... LTG! Mostly domestic Y as well!!!

Domestic economy! Well done ... perhaps may Qantas decide to introduce Lifetime Emerald ... but I'm not holding my breath ...

Quite interesting isn't it. It took me 9 years to get to LTS and less than two to move on to LTG. How I miss the mASA.

excellent especially when mostly domestic!!

Came late to the game. Had only 1 MASA and a couple of J returns to the TLOTF.

This one is definitely hard earned.

Well done you LTGers. A good and worthwhile achievement.

Congratulations. That's a lot of flying.

.... How I miss the mASA.

You and me both....

 

[Colster]

Thanks all. QF have been trying to call me today. Perhaps it's a congrats call?

 

[Pushka]

Thanks all. QF have been trying to call me today. Perhaps it's a congrats call?

Mmm. Nope. More likely calling to say an accounting error and you haven't reached the required points.

That's legend status.

I am betting the call was about a schedule change or something rather than anything to do with LTG. Once the letter comes you'll understand

 

[Boris spatsky]

Yes, i never had any contact after the letter came

There are scans of a few letters upthread to preview...

I'm not quite LTG yet, in fact I have just over a WP requal to go (1,214 SC to go)... but I realised this morning that I had just booked the flight which (by calculating future earn) gets me over the line - an auspicious Qlink puddle jump CBR/SYD daytrip tomorrow.

I now have 1220 SCs of future bookings and will achieve LTG in mid-December even if I make no more bookings. Which is unlikely, my active bookings are mostly in May and June (>1000 SC worth) so it is very likely I will get there much sooner.

Finally!! 16 years to reach LTS, 4 years, thanks to AFF, to hit LTG today. Currently sitting on 14,001 with a few DSC to hit after today's flights.

99% on Y tickets (a few JASA in there before it came to an end, but never paid cash for a J or F flight)

Stoked to have joined the club!!

 

[Flying mermaid]

congrats - doing it with Y is very hard!

 

[kermatu]

[wandering_fred]

Enjoy the lounge access and better seat selection... even after retirement... :shock:


Happy wandering

Fred
