Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[opusman]

The first time I had any sort of status on QF was silver in 2008. Had just got to Platinum with Ansett when they went belly up though

I just paid for a 22 yo cousin to fly to Adelaide for a family reunion and asked him if he was a QFF and his response was do I need to be (so I just sent him this) and said yes you do.

oh, I earned plenty of points wih those flights.

No travel, even if earning QFF ponts and counting as eligible taken before September 1998 counts toward life time status.

Last weekend I finally managed to tick over to LTS. LTG literally seems like a lifetime away but I also never thought I'd get to WP and yet here I am and will retain this year. It's taking hints and tips from AFF that might see that LTG happen sooner rather than much, much later.

I never thought I would ever get QF Plat not to mention LT Gold. Due to work trips and to tips from AFF, I have been QF Plat for the last 9 years (and #10 almost in the bag thanks to a rtn J trip from Syd to LHR with double SCs) and got LT Silver about 7 years ago and LT Gold 1.5 years ago

In one of the early AFF threads on Lifetime Silver and Lifetime Gold I thought it'd be very difficult to reach either level.

Took a few years to get to Lifetime Silver but Lifetime Gold followed very quickly.

From LTS to LTG you only need 6 years of WP.

You make it sound so easy!

From LTS to LTG you only need 6 years of WP.

As well, 6 years of WP will get you from QFF nothing to LTS....

And heres that definition of frustration!:


Even a SYD>MEL dom would tick me over!

I'll show you QF !! **shakes fist aimlessly**

500+SC's to be earned next month and NONE on QF.

How did you end up with a 1 at the end?

I've been a QFF since '98 so it probably had to do with some legacy method of awarding SC's.

 

[JohnK]

How did you end up with a 1 at the end?

Or 50% bonus SC offers on flights earning odd number of SCs.

Yep, that's how I overachieved my LTG (14,001).

Did you consider crediting to BA once you'd achieved LTG on QF?
