Greetings All,
My status credits expire at the end of this month. I am 55 SCs short of retaining SG, but have 50 bonus credits I can use to get to 595 SCs, still 5 short of the required 600 SCs. QF is offering me the option of buying SG for 80,000 points (regardless of whether I finish 5 or 55 points short). That sounds a bit rich considering I can get an international Y-J upgrade worth several thousand dollars for that many points (or several domestic flights). So my thoughts turned to a status run to get the extra 5 SCs (which I've never contemplated doing before). It's not that hard to find flights from/to MEL for a relatively small $ outlay, but it is quite a bit of hassle for just 5 points. Any suggestions for cheap and easy way to earn 5 (or 55) SCs? Does anyone think it is possible to haggle with QF on the amount of points required? I might be prepared to do it for 40k.....
Thanks,
Mike
