Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[markis10]

I got a letter about 6-8 weeks after hitting the mark. No card as they only send it when you actually need it I.E. when you are lower than Plat.

Same here, but underwhelming, then again the handcuffs being removed did compensate for the lack of festivities with SCs not important as they have been.

JohnK have you heard anything from QF since getting LTG? eg letter, new card or anything?

I have not received new card. Vaguely remember seeing a letter congratulating me on Lifetime Gold.

Need to check when I am back I Sydney on weekend.

I think they only send you a lifetime Gold card if you drop below Platinum level.

IMO they're more likely to raise the bar for LTG than to introduce LTP.

Sitting here 5,300 away from LTG... with no travel planned at all, let alone DONE4, JASAs.... and 14,000 is looking very far away.
Just need a job... with travel :shock:

1400 SC's short of LTG, and about the same short of "Additional WP Benefits" so 31st October is my goal, and hoping for some creative routing to DXB & FRA, I should be right...

Congratulations John

I am 275 SC from the target. Also done on mostly Y flights.

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.

Extremely impressive. Still 3,780 SCs away for me and now I've dropped to Silver I really could have done with the Lifetime Gold

Still 5 years away for me after starting so fast in the first few years

A belated congratulations JohnK
Well done on your achievement.

I think they only send you a lifetime Gold card if you drop below Platinum level.

Logically, that would be the case. I've been LTG for yonks but WP for more yonks and never seen a LTG card - and never want to see one :mrgreen:.

 

[JessicaTam]

A belated congratulations from me too, John. A great achievement done the hard way.

Good stuff John. Be sure to flick over your excess SCs...

Family pooling?

 

[boylero]

JohnK do you know how many miles you flew on oneworld metal to get there?

JohnK do you know how many miles you flew on oneworld metal to get there?

I wish I knew. Number of miles wouldn't be that high as most SCs are earned on short haul flights with some SCs earned on medium haul flights.

Finally reached LTG today!

I started flying QF after the demise of Ansett back in 2001?. So that's about 13 years of flying.

My only hope now is for QF to live as long as I will... another 50 years with any luck! ;-)
