Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[mviy]

Congratulations! It’s certainly a big achievement to reach LTG. It seems a long way off for me still.

Congratulations @JessicaTam.

You wouldn't want to switch to BA now and then find Qantas offering Lifetime Platinum at 28,000 SCs.

I would ... Over 30k and counting ..

QF LTP would be nice, but I’m not holding my breath. If QF started offering LTP at that figure I’d have a strong incentive to try to fast track my way towards LTG to give me a chance of reaching that.

Congrats JT and welcome to the club

Well done @JessicaTam. Now surely BA and/or AA, AY will get more of a look in...

 

[Tooner]

I’ll add to the congratulations (it is a massive achievement) and highly recommend having a good look around at other airlines!

Well I have made it. It took a bit of to and fro with QF as my qualifying flight was a MH codeshare on KA which was not originally credited.

But the real credit for being able to reach this milestone goes to AFFers who have shared so much. When I joined six and a half years ago my goal was just to reach gold. Never thinking that lifetime gold was in my future. What a ride.

Thank you.

Well done JT - envious!!!

Let's just say that I have over 1,000 TP in future BA crediting flights. And how many for QF I hear you ask? That would be "none".

Congratulations JT. You join an elite group (until QF find out that few of us remain loyal to them and reduce the benefits).

I would have to say I resembled that remark until I start with my new employer who flies almost exclusively QF!

Still well ahead of me @JessicaTam :



At my rate, it’ll be years before I get there.

I probably have you on the AA Lifetime goal though...that’s my next one after I get QFLG done.

Or it could be just over 1 year of WP.

I have flown a lot with AA, just never earned any AA Miles with them!

Well done JT!

A well used DSC or two can catapult members towards LTG. This is my fervent hope with the one starting (hopefully) tomorrow

Some of us would need more than a few to get close to LTG. For me using a DSC promo would catapult me towards LTS but the route I'd prefer to book isn't on special at the moment.

The problem when making Lifetime Gold a target is that it may seem like it's a long way away. I never thought I would get there this lifetime but it happened as I was striving for Platinum each year. Now I'm approaching double Lifetime Gold.

I don't understand why some people are rushing to get to Lifetime Gold only to start crediting elsewhere.
