Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

I'm looking forward to a tool that will show me my lifetime SC

Will not be available until Oct 2025.

My solution means there’s no scramble at all and recognises who actually flew which seems to be the point of lifetime status anyway.

yup, but I think your solution enables two people to benefit from the same status credit?

No it doesn’t, all earning transactions are posted to the original flyer. Family pooling then deducts them and posts them over to the recipient. Simply don’t do the deduction from the donor and don’t allow additions to accounts from family pooling as a source. Done.

It's interesting that most of the previous discussions on lifetime status revolved around excluding pooling. Velocity seem to have landed on a compromise that's made no one happy!

Indeed. My take is lifetime should only be for your lifetime and your bum in seat.

One of us is missing what the other is saying.

So here's an example:
Back in 2017 as WP I family pooled my SC to my husband which helped him reach SG which wouldn't have obtained by himself. He benefited from those SC.

Now you want Velocity to also count those same SC towards my FG? When he's already benefitted from them? That's what I mean by 1 SC being used by two people.

Maybe I'm the unicorn, but I think it's one of the better options of a difficult lot. Doing something retrospective is going to be problematic.
Ask me again though when my FG is 11,000 SC!!
