serfty, just noticed your updated stats: congrats on getting LT SG! Although I see you've counted 102% LT SG now... Does QF still keep count of your lifetime status credits even after LT SG?

So...are your FFP dynamics going to change after your attainment of LT SG?


Aside: Patterns in QFF:

PS = 350 SC (retain 300 SC)
SG = 700 SC = 2 x PS (same for retainment)
WP = 1400 SC = 2 x SG = 4 x PS (same for retainment)

LT PS = 5 years of WP
LT SG = 10 years of WP

The life time calculations assume:

• You only earn just enough to qualify for WP every year
• We ignore the "retain" amount (i.e. one earns 1400 SC every year, when in reality one would only need to earn 1400 SC the first year and 1200 SC for each subsequent year, and thus it would be > 10 years of WP to get LT SG)

You're saying that the humour wasn't dry in the first place?

Nah, I don't have that thread on my subscribed list, so no wonder I missed it

No, and, yes (retain WP - remainder to AA)

They might actually keep count, but just not tell you

I am certain they do keep count - so do I ...

As I lie here almost flat on my back I have to say don't ever strain your back mucsles :!: After 3 days I'm going crazy and I have another week at least before I can do much.

Ouch :!::evil:

It's really killed off my Amex transaction rate also. :evil:

No, and, yes (retain WP - remainder to AA)

My thoughts exactly - however my retained level will be Gold and balance to AA (although I am even waivering on this, as is Lifetime Silver enough with Lifetime QC). Every time I talk to Dave Noble, he convinces me to head towards the latter. Just concerned as most of my travel will be domestic in the foreseeable future and I'd hate to have my forward aisle to then be behind the Exit Rows (rather than in front).

That's why the internet is fabulous - don't even have to move off your back and you can rack up transactions (or alternatively send Mrs straitman to do the shopping and as she's coming home, send a text that you need an item that wasn't on the shopping list). Of course, hope your brownie point balance is large enough :shock:

Get better soon..so who's for tennis

Not today thanks

I'd settle for being able to stand up straight and being able to walk without pain :!:

I can assure after a year or so you get used to the pain. And before you know it you will be able to play golf and not worry about your strained back.

I can help you. Just give me your Amex card number and expiry date.

Thanks John. Good to know I'll be able toplay golf after this though as most people would say I currently can't play golf :!:

Thanks again John, you're all heart. It's good to know someone is willing to be so helpful.
