Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

I'll tell you how I go :). I dropped down to LTG after 10+ years as WP (a really low SC year, so no comp for me!) 3 weeks ago and have heard nothing yet.

I got nothing until I called and they attempted to 'resend' the card. Got rejected because "unable to send to overseas address". There is, of course no overseas address. They said they'd send it express. Still waiting.
 
QF Lifetime Gold achieved on my AKL-SYD flight yesterday - add this to my QF Club lifetime membership.

Congratulations. I too have QC Life, which does tend to take a little of the shine off LTG.

domestically not a lot of difference, but internationally LTG worth a lot more. Two of the kids have got QC life and it used to be amazing, but now pretty minimal unless travelling in the USA.
 
Congratulations on Lifetime Gold @AV8.

You might want to research if possible to get a refund of any of your lifetime Qantas club membership.

Pro-rata refunds would be for annual/multi-year memberships not for lifetime memberships.
Exactly my point :). KPC had a lifetime and requested and was refused. Of course one could try the HUCA approach, but one would hope with monetary refunds there would be a consistent policy. Ths reminds me - I must apply for a refund of Mr FMs unused QC membership.

Yes I had considered this but decided it was not worth chasing as the lifetime QF Club was funded by free NRMA shares when listed on stock exchange.
 
I was hoping to be LTG by now, but my KA flight from earlier this month has yet to post. So close, yet so far!
Hopefully your KA flight earns with QF...I felt like a newbie when I realised my HKG-PEK flight on KA would not earn anything even though it was combined with a very expensive QF flight!
 
After being a WP for around 5 years, today my MEL OOL flight has taken me to 13,999 lifetime status credits! Next flight will fly me across the line to LTG.

Thanks everyone for the hints, tips and tricks.

Well done. The hints and tips here are real value.
