Renewal of gold status

[JohnK]

yes ... if 400 of those 450 SC' were earned after, say, Feb 6th, you would have until Feb 5th to earn another 200 SC's to qualify SG again.

or if 430 were earned since Nov 5th then you would have until Nov 4th to earn another 170.

Is it 600 SCs or 500 SCs for Gold from scratch?

500 to attain, 400 to retain.

It's as swanning_it has posted. I was getting my levels mixed up ... (I guess I think more about WP than SG).

Check your history to ascertain how many of your "rolling" balance will drop off between now and 3 Sept and then add the number you'll achieve before 3 Sept, to get what your balance will be at review date. It sounds a lot like you'd actually meet the 400SC renewal just one day late, so perhaps a PM to VFF may have the desired effect as you have a good argument (that being you'd attain gold again anyway) and let's face it, it's in situations exactly like this that you'd expect a mob like VA to actually apply some logical discretional favour to their FFers, rather than the embarrassing shambles of a status match to all and sundry that they persisted with for so long.

Good point.

With a 2 September requalification date I will be on exactly 350 SCs for the year. The first flight to drop off is on 26 September. So if I have my calculations correct I should have the 500 SCs on 20 September.

And as status does not drop until the review date I should have lounge access until end September?

Effectively yes. Your review date is the date on your card (I'm presuming for you it's 3 Sept) however you will still have lounge access for a further 1 month.

New membership year starts 03 September. I think I will be fine.

How hard are VA on sectors for requal? I'm in the position of having 1045 SCs with a review date of June 12 and 2 sectors still needed :/

240 SCs wasted as I screwed up turning pooling off too - thought I had it worked out perfectly damnit

I did a SYD-BNE-SYD trip the morning before an international OW flight to make sure I got the sectors. I doubt VA would be lenient
