well, it was surprising to me. Main thing was it looked like all my previous years SCs had all rolled over as the new target date was a year out and SCs to hit next level of status were the gap i left at end of membership year. Does make more sense if you think about it like a financial year...

Ok so yes, jumped the gun here and SC balance back to zero for start of the new year today. Surprising the system takes 3+ days for this to update!

Thanks will give it a week or so and report back on whether this is lag on updates or how things work for LTS

Hi All, have searched on this one but can't find anything. I'm Life Time Silver and have just gone past my annual anniversary date where was expecting my balance of 550 SCs to go back to zero. Logging in today, I still have 550 SCs and now 11 months, 3 weeks, 6 days to get another 150 SCs to...

Hey Aikman, are there SC earn tables for the max bundles anywhere? I have looked up the earn tables and the max bundles talk about "Business to the max" on the jetstar site but are these earning SCs at flexible economy rates? When you select the bundles on the site, no SC related info comes up...

Hey all, chasing Gold for current membership year now as have had a few flights book in meaning I'm only a few SC's short and based out of Sydney. Program Year End Date: 30th September Desired Status: Gold Current Status Credit Balance: 260 current Remaining Status Credits Booked: 270 SCs...

Ok good to know, your run of 10+ years is a lot longer than mine too so looks like that doesn't really make an impact. How many SCs short were you out of interest in the year you got the 120k points offer? I wonder how close you have to get to renewing at 1,200 SCs before they make that offer?

Yeah its looking quite expensive over the next 2 weeks. The other flight options I was thinking about would be say a Sydney - Townsville in Domestic J as that is around 100 SCs each way but not looking great in terms of fare pricing for that either at this stage

I was thinking around the $1,000-$1,500 mark would be worth while but not sure I'll find anything that can get me over the line in this short a time period. I do really value Platinum for the F/J lounge access but probably not 120,000 points worth to be honest. If there was a much larger gap...

Hi All, Looks like I'll be falling short of retaining platinum for the first time in about 5/6 years of being at that level by 160 SCs as my membership year ends at the end of the month and I have not more flights I "need" to take. I did get a call from Qantas offering me to retain platinum if...

Been flying heavily for the past 4 years and have been QFF WP for 3 of the 4 years Have had 3 OP Ups from Y to Y+ in my 3 years on QF Have flown a 10 return flights on EK between NZ and Au and not gotten any op ups (QF Ticketed flights), however flying Syd - DXB return last year and been...

Thanks a lot both zainman and Dajop, have checked out the fare classes now and they are all earning 100 - 150% on United. Just to clarify, UA points are calculated in a couple of different ways: Flying on United - points per USD spent Flying on Other star alliance programs - miles flown with...

Hi Guys, thought I'd post this up as I'm not very familiar with Star Alliance airlines programs and especially on the cross airline crediting. I'm looking to fly this itinerary here: SWISS LX179 Business Class Monday 23rd November Singapore - Zurich 23:30 - 06:10 (Arrives next day)...

I was on QF1 a couple of years ago booked in on a sale fare. I was just randomly checking the upgrade availability a few days before the flight and the option to request was there one day when previously it hadn't been an option. I requested it and got the upgrade so was pretty happy with that...

It looks like the WP1's are getting the +1's on the invites I'm a regular WP and didn't get the option for the Sydney event

Spoke to the etihad lounge people in both London and auh and paid for upgrades for the London Abu Dhabi leg cost about $600-900 so a bit pricey. My etihad flights were a bit horrid to be honest, won't be bothering with them again

Cool thanks for the extra info guys, spoke to the Virgin call centre people last night who did tell me about the EY request at the airport and so will give that a go to see if i can upgrade to business class there too now and will also ask for an express pass on board and at the lounge too...

Sorry if this has already been discussed but couldnt see anything about it posted already. i booked in to fly to london on virgin australia next week with the auh to lhr leg operated by etihad and just wondering if anyone knows the following? chances of an upgrade to business with etihad on...

yes well booked flights to London via virgin site so technically I guess the virgin flight is only to AUH then cheers

Hi Guys, Just wondering how far in advance I'll find out whether my bid for an upgrade gets accepted on a flight to London which is departing on the Tuesday 8th July? Cheers
