QF Status chase for 2009

[munitalP]

Well another FF-year has passed for me, 1 Nov is my FF year start. I was hoping to comp Mrs! Gold again, but with my long flights in J being on Singapore and a change of company policy in March, she missed out.

I lost 1510 ststus credits overnight, this is one of my lowest earning years for a long time on QF, however, this year I attained silver on DJ (thats not a brag either - I'm dissapointed I spent that much time in the red birds) and also flew DeathStar more times than I care to mention...

I'm actually sitting outside "eat-n-runway" at gate 43 BNE, it's not a good look that my first flight for the FFyear is a DJ!! I did say in my FERAL post that I wouldn't fly DJ again but these flights were pre-booked.

My aim for the upcoming year is to have Mrs! comp Gold again. My outlook is good with a few long hauls on the future in J and on QF or AA, so who knows.

Happy FF YEAR Everyone!! and many status earns

:mrgreen:

As it happens, today marks the start of my year as well. I am aiming to requalify as gold based on what I can see me doing over the next year.

Good luck with your goal Mr!

I "lost" ~3400 SC's this morning ... for me the most ever.

It's a bit disconcerting to see:

Qantas segments flown: 0

You must fly a minimum four eligible flight segments on Qantas, QantasLink or Jetstar and earn the required status credits to retain/attain during your membership Year

I'm in the MEL Flounge, about to embark to the USA, by the time I return on Wednesday I will be ½ way to requalifying if all goes to plan.

Last year I went overboard and re qualified altogether by Nov 8, but I am taking it a bit easier this time.

(Should also have LTG stitched up by Monday as well )

My year restarts today as well. Only lost 395 SCs but was comped to gold:mrgreen:, my 4th year as Gold. Also lost SQ PPS overnight...:shock:
Will easily requalify for Gold this FF year with 2 J return trips to Bangkok and Tokyo planned so far. Not sure whether I can make a run for QF WP status, but unlike others, I refuse to be a self funded WP!. I shouldn't be complaining but it is impossible to make a non direct flight when someone else is picking up the tab, even if the trip is cheaper via a Circle Pacific, DONE etc

Got to hate those requirements to take the most direct route possible

You earned 1200 SC in 8 days :shock::shock::shock:

Wow.

Its amazing what a few well routed YUP/KUPs will do for the SC balance.

I have plenty of time to sew up Platinum status until May 2010.

For next year I am hoping that BA WT+ airfares return to their previous levels and with the CX I class specials BKK-SIN continuing and with a little domestic travel should see me easily qualify Platinum until May 2011 and closer to Lifetime Silver.

 

[nlagalle]

I'm aiming to get gold this year, only got 300 SC to go. No INT travel, it'll all be Y DOM. I should make it by Feb. my roll over is 1st April.. (what a joke! :mrgreen

Congratulations!

I should be SG by January on the back of a LONE4 and a full Y int trip

Either that, or do the AA plat challenge and throw my points that way.... :?:

I hope my doctor is as confident

One would always hope to live a long life after reaching LTG.

-485 for me (looks like a few of us have Oct 31 Annivararies!)

Will probably struggle to get even the 300 for silver again but we'll see how we go!

 

[Flying Fox]

Well I'm proud to say that I made SG for the first time ever this year. I always seem to miss out by a few SCs here and there and never did a Status Run. I really should have considered a Status Run sooner given the benefits.

Anyway, I live & learn.

My year ends SEP so hopefully I can retain that but not sure.

My account doesn't roll over until June - currently my account shows:

Status credits earned from 01 Jun 2008: 80
Additional Status credits required by 31 May 2009 to retain Gold: 520

Fortunately I've got a boat load of SCs coming my way from booked QF/AA flights in the next two months

 

[jwak]

August for me: I currently read:

Current Status: Platinum
Status reassessment will occur: 31 Aug 2009
Status credits earned from 01 Sep 2008: 840
Additional Status credits required by 31 Aug 2009 to retain Platinum: 360

Current lifetime Status credits: 10,247


Strangely I have those extra 7 status credits, don't know how that happened....

You are not alone. I have seen a few people on AFF mention those type of SCs and I think it was due to QF using a much different SCs earning table back in the 1990's.
