Just noticed I have used WP instead of P1 or WP1 through the above post. Apologies for any confusion

I should login a bit more often. Seems I've missed some insightful commentary, some genuine query and questions and some comments which beg me to question the poster love of flying and all thing FF related. Im not going to respond individually to each post but will add the following. Flying...

Would be interesting to see the math on how many long haul F flights X 2PAX you will get for your $15k, before facing the gauntlet of availability.

My travel patterns have changed and the foreseeable future doesn't include enough qualifying flight to meet the QF flight # hurdle for P1, and possibly the total points tally either.

This is the crux of it. Cost is relative, and given my total travel expenditure for my businesses, $15k is insignificant.

That is correct, this travel has extended my current P1 beyond 30 April 2018 to include the period of 1 May 2018 to 30 April 2019. The $15000 expense needs to be seen in the context of a 12 month benefit, not 23 months. Thanks for picking it up Bacchus.

My anniversary date is 30 April, and these flights were taken in the first weeks of my new year. I will have this status for the remainder of this year, plus the next year. It it has always been my understanding that status remains until the end of the next, full membership year.

No questions asked. Used Smart Gates at both ends predominantly, which removes the interaction piece.

Completely sane. Have worked incredibly hard building my businesses, I enjoy travelling and enjoy the benefits ultra-elite status bring myself, family and friends who have all benefited from time to time. For me, the time I committed to this was semi-productive, balancing mostly work with some...

Having been WP for more years than I care to remember, and WP1 since inception, I was faced with the very real possibility that my future travel plans with QF over the coming 12 months wouldn't see me requalify for WP1. The status has been beneficial, I like shiny cards and all that goes with...

In her own right.

Mrs P1 is WP.

Mrs Platinum One made a quick trip on Tuesday, MEL-BNE-MEL. It was her birthday and she was less than impressed to travel. She was booked 4A outbound and 5F return. At the MEL QF J Lounge she was upgraded to 2A, much to her delight. Her first op-up ever, and on her birthday to boot! I...

F trip to NZ on EK (QF flight #) this past Tuesday has yet to post DSC's. Booked via voucher purchased in qualifying window.

Mrs Platinum One is WP, currently sitting on 2490 SC's with a reset in May. All self funded or co-travel with me and kids. Miss 11yo is Gold, sitting on 900 SCs and had a couple of years as WP. 5200 lifetime SC's. Both Master 8 and Master 6 are lowly Silver!

Vouchers were discussed on the call as a get around!

I'm currently booking MEL-DXB-GRU return with EK in first. The MEL-DXB-MEL leg are QF metal, QF9/10 respectively. The total price on EK is $13,500, with EK flight numbers. Standalone MEL-DXB-MEL on QF are $17.2k. Unfortunately EK don't codeshare with QF on the Sth American legs so it isn't...

Folllowing discussions with Chubb I can relay that the $250 must be pre-paid prior to trip commencement for the "complimentary" insurance to be activated.

PDS is very vague regarding this $250 spend requirement. Have sought clarification, but team only available Monday - Friday. Given a domestic trip is defined as greater than 150km, unsure what travel provider would be required to book a 151km domestic road trip. Will update once I've spoken...

QF flight numbers on EK metal.
