Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[serfty]

i thought LTG meant exactly that, lifetime (well QFF,s lifetime anyway). I haven't seen anywhere that you still need the 4 QF flights.

Your are correct, hvr was referring to attaining WP.

As I posted back a couple of weeks ago:

Once LTG is reached your status will be at least SG for either the life of the current QFF program or your life , no matter how little you may fly.

If you ever drop to SG, you would need the four ~ flights and 1,400 SC's to reach WP again.

Finally, I've cracked LTG

Joined Feb 96 so it's taken me 17+ long years........on the bright side - I'm only 46. Hopefully, LT means a very long LT:!:

You beat me to it? Have you been booking cheap Any Seat awards?

Congratulations.

hahaha no such luck. Out of the 14,000 I'd say around 10% are from DSC/JASA. I only found out about JASA when I joined AFF & I only received my first DSC offer last year Haven't been doing status runs around LOTFAP or Asia

Unfortunately, the great majority of my SC has come from QF dom whY & J* flights when I was commuting for nearly 4 years to SYD from my Sunny Coast paradise In fact J* @ 40SC a return trip is probably responsible for around 7,000SC:shock:

I've blown all my points on classic awards.

Fitting that todays flight SYD-BNE got me over the mark. I am now on 14,005 lifetime SCs even though it will take a few weeks for the SCs to credit to account.

When I first joined AFF I calculated that it was going to a take long time to get to Lifetime Silver and almost impossible to get to Lifetime Gold. I am really surprised that time has arrived so soon. It has been a ball.

I wish there was Lifetime Platinum as that would have been a good goal to try and achieve.

No plans to move away from QFF. Although I will try and credit some flights to VA to maintain VA Gold for another year.

 

[nlagalle]

Well done JohnK you have certainly done the hard yards to get there.. I hope to join you at the end of the year there!!

 

[lovestotravel]

Well done

I am about to hit LTS with QF so quite a way to go for LTG, but I'll easily maintain platinum for 2014 again, so that's good enough for now.

My VA Platinum moves to Gold in a month or so, and I'll reconsider if I should try to maintain anything with Virgin in about 6 months, when we have a clearer picture of where/what QF is doing medium term.

 

[AIRwin]

Congratulations John! Hope to see you around more, preferably on VA flights...

 

[danny09]

Thats great news JohnK. Well done

I'm also hanging out for life time platinum, but maybe by the time i reach 28k SC mark (3-4 years) it may be on the table for me to get :mrgreen: (if ofcourse 28k SC total was lifetime platinum)

 

[boomy]

Congrats JohnK!
I got it myself last year and also hoping for LTP although I'm very skeptical it will ever happen.

 

[vitagen]

Good work John, I'm only half way through LTS

 

[wandering_fred]

congrats JohnK

keep collecting the SCs as you continue wandering

At the Q Cash lunch in Melbourne QF (Stephanie Tully) did say they talk about lifetime WP & maybe one day it'll happen, I took from that, that maybe it could happen & abit of a positive that it gets spoken about.

Congrats Johnk!

Hopefully the specter of delayed aircraft will leave you alone for good now!

I'll be very glad to be proven wrong on this one

Congratulations! Now just hope nothing changes and your lifetime OW Lounge Access remains.

About 87% of the way there myself.

Cheers,
