How many SCs do you get in a year?

Both of you are CRAZY!!!

Actually, I think I'm the crazy one to fly each week for 30 consecutive weeks (MLB-SYD-MLB) and only be at about 1,140 points. My anniversary date is on 28th Feb so got a bit more time to hit WP.

Currently I'm planning to finish my Syd trips at 1,200 points but hope to get some work in BNE to hit that platinum (1,400) before my trip to the USA on 15th Dec.

I don't fly OS much for work (last time was J class MLB-HKG-MLB on Dec 2003-100 SC each way) and most of my other international flights are award flights so I don't get any points for those.

I'm very impressed with the amount of points you have collected but its a bit of an overkill once you hit the 1,600 (partner gold) mark.

I have booking and flights already taken this year for a total of 2080 SC.

Will probably end up just over 2100 at this stage. Trying to avoid a lot of excess flying until my next status year for obvious reasons...

As I've said before... amazing how it all adds up!

 

Partner Gold is 2100 SC per year. Where to after that? Building up Lifetime Gold. After Lifetime gold? AA? Then someone else...

 

Well the most I've ever done is 1460 last year however I should do about 1600 this year. Now that's not much compared to others except it is all dom travel with only two business flights (Mel-ADL & Mel-CBR).

Yes this is all cattle class travel. Not sure how many flights but a lot (MEL-SYD & MEL-CBR being the regulars). Checked my profile and for the first time since I joined QANTAS I have no booked flights after tonight (other than an award next year).

QANTAS might ring me to see if I'm all right!

How many SCs for Lifetime Gold?
My statement just says 7000 for Lifetime Silver (big deal). Might take me a lifetime to get even that. I manage around 600 per year but have been under lately thus my struggle this year (and the please explain from QFF). Looks like I'll finish 100 short but will go on bended knee if that will help. Used to do overseas J travel once or twice a year but haven't been since 2003. Hard to get there without it.

 

14,000. Might need more than one lifetime

 

Not wrong. My lifetime status is now officially "tin". Hope to reach lifetime "aluminium" shortly.

I had 370 status credits last year. My best year ever and it was a lot of flying in paid discount economy and still only 10% of NM's flying for 1 year. Although I am pleased to announce that I spent a lot of time at home with my 4 blurred cream walls. Not sure if it is the alcohol or needing glasses that causes the walls to be blurred like that.

 

Most of my flying is on *A. If all my paid (non-award) travel was all on one world, then this year I'd have about 9,000 SCs.

 

I do enough on one world to maintain QF WP - am I allowed to stay here?

 

My last 4 years has been 1500, 300, 1800, 300.

Aside from one trip to Hong Kong all has been domestic, and mostly discount economy at that.

 

I think that you just need 1230 points over the next 43 days which is less than 29 per day... Just 1 short flight in J is per say is all thats needed

I'm curious to know what sort of flights the people with extremely high SC per year are doing and if it is funded via work or personal travel.

Personally, almost 100% of my SCs are via work related flights. All Domestic for this year, Y/H class MLB-SYD-MLB.

I've done the odd J MLB-HKG-MLB flight for work but other then that I try to use my points of which I try to grow as quickly as possible via as many CCs expenses, money transfers, flights, certain hotels that give 3x points, eTrade deals (etc) I can figure out.

I have averaged about 7,100 points a week for the last 30 weeks due to business related expenses. Personal adds a bit more. Hmmmmm, points.....drooooool,,,,,,,

One day I will do a fully paid DONE to earn points but only when I can afford it (in about 50 years. hehe).

Do you guys fly OS a lot on J to get these SC points? It it all work related?
