28,000 status credits

[Natalie_B]

I was about to post regarding having proudly reached LTG today and my plans from now on. Then I read this thread. Now I am feeling inadequate and suffering from Status Credit Envy. Consoling myself with "it isn't the amount that counts, its how you use them".

Bahahaha! Here I was excited that I'd reached Silver for the 2nd time in 3 years. Not LTS, just regular old silver! I'm still happy with my achievement but 28,000 SC seems like an alternative universe! Well done OP.

No reason to have SC envy now you've achieved the pinnacle. Am only 4,500 SCs away from it myself.

Same, same....

Can someone advise how you find out how many lifetime status credits you have? I passed LTG over 4 years ago and have been regularly over 3,000per year for the last 4 years but would love an accurate number. Thanks

Not sure what all this talk of paper statements is about but if you log onto your account then "Your Summary", at the bottom it lists your "Current lifetime Status credits",

Just under 3,000 until LTG here. Would be nice to knock if off this year!

Cheers,

I believe that your Current Lifetime Status Credits show in your online Summary, only until you reach Lifetime Gold.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Ah, I see. Thanks.

Yep! A real "First World Problem" ...

How many yrs were your SC collected over?

I've been a QFF member since 2003, but started off with not much flying.

 

[Jobu]

Well I cruised quietly passed the 28,000 mark without any fuss. 3 flights later I was seated comfortably in 1K and a pilot Captain who was paxing sat next to me. For a brief moment I had a vision of Bingham's experience but that very quickly passed when he told me what he thought of management hehe...!

You say in your OP it's a waste....why?

A waste in the sense that there are no benefits beyond 14,000... but I would add that I have spent between 600 to 1,000 hours on a plane each year in recent years. Think about that - it is about a month of each year on board a plane (flying time only). Add to that the hours and hours in airports, sitting on the tarmac, transit, transport to and from airports, packing bags, sitting on the phone with the travel agent changing flights, etc. etc. It's not a holiday.

Someone traveling that much for business is not sight seeing and taking in local culture . its business

Spot on. I must say I have had some unique experiences, but mostly its groundhog day.

Jobu and paginjoan - Well done on crossing that milestone!

Thanks

I sense your frustration with a lack of anything past 14K - i.e. the lack of LTP. Out of interest is this level of travel going to continue for the foreseeable future? If so I would be taking a long hard look at your FFP loyalty to QF. You have LTG so why not credit to AA for example - based on hitting P1 you will easily hit EXP and wil find awards a lot cheaper.

It's something I have been meaning to look at for a long time. Dave Noble gave me a similar suggestion ages ago and answered alot of my questions, but I haven't taken the plunge.

Totally amazing. Congrats. I'm hoping that it wasn't in Y or Y+

Thanks FF. Thankfully only part of it was.

Congratulations on reaching LTG - it's a great milestone - we now both have QC lounge access for life. I think I envy you more

Thanks Natalie! I was there once... I remember hitting silver for the first time, I was so impressed with myself and could not imagine how much travel those that had gold or platinum must do, and LTS was just some ridiculous milestone that I paid no attention to. Now I know it all too well

Thanks Jobu for your thoughts on travelling extensively and pointing out the packing,transfers and other rigmarole required.
28,000 is a big number and Mrscove and myself combined don't get to 75% of that.
That number is totally awesome.

I think we were all there at one stage or another. I remember achieving PS as a uni student flying between uni and home, and then a DSC coinciding with a trip to LOTFAP and a KUPP fare saw me pass SG. Now I'm aiming for WP before turning 20 and ensuring status for the rest of my uni life!

Wow, that's impressive. I think I'll have to fly around cryogenically suspended to get that many

Once you hit LTG, it's only the snail-mailed statements that continue the total. Best thing to do is flick over to snail-mailed statement for one month, then revert to online and keep a spreadsheet.

If anyone was eligible for Life Time Platinum it would be you :mrgreen:

 

[JohnM]

I would have had a lot more if our travel contract hadn't been with Ansett for many years .

Earlier today I was looking at this & was feeling pretty chuffed with myself


Lifetime Recognition

Current lifetime Status credits: 13,330


.....then I read your post:shock:

 

[geoffsmith147]

Folks, can you point me in the right direction as I cannot see from any of my statements how many SC's I have earned. Have been LTG since 2007 but would be interested to know what the total of SC's would be. Is there a separate section on the Q FF page.

Lifetime SC 60,981

Just received my latest QF Frequent Flyer Activity Statement: Current Lifetime Status Credits: 60,981.

Wow !

At my age and with my pattern of flying, I would be receiving a telegram from King William's heir before I get this number - assuming QF is still there for me (and you).

Amazing !

This is Platinum One[SUP]5 [/SUP]

See my post #53 below. Once you reach LTG, QF stops posting the total online. You need to (temporarily at least) revert to a paper statement. Bizarre, but true.

I guess it's an attempt to thwart the ever-growing chant: "Where's my LTP?" - Just another enhancement .

If this wasn't on this forum, I would have said it must be a typo !!!
