I'm currently a bronze QF member (but have held gold status 5 years ago when travelling a lot more with work). I've had more travel this year, and now need another 135 status points to gain silver status for upcoming year (anniversary date 31/08). I'm keen to try for it, but wondering if anyone can offer advice as to the cheapest way to get the status points up.
I have already booked international travel with QF for a big holiday in October, which is mostly why I'm keen to try to have upgraded membership by then.
I know of one trip I have coming up to Adelaide later in the year (leisure travel), but that only earns 120 status points in business class (leaving me short), and it certainly isn't the cheapest j class seat around (around $1500). Time is also an issue, I can only consider long weekends away rather than one longer trip.
