I did it: Gold

Moving up the status ladder is a great feeling and I doubt I would have achieved it without AFF. I went to Gold for the first time last October after being a QFF member since 1997, without status runs or double status credits, just a couple of domestic trips I otherwise wouldn't have taken. It helps to fly to JFK in J each year though :)

And husband just got Platinum for the first time after I worked out how many extra SCs he needed by the end of this month and packed him off on some trips to the footy and cricket, which he hated of course haha. First Lounge here we come!

Now to retain...

Congratulations - you know the hard bit though is if you ever lose that platinum! I did last year (sob) but determined to regain it with a month to go, nearly there!
 
AFF is going to be responsible for getting husband to platinum this year. In the end no need for status runs but the JASA bookings did the trick.

Enjoy the free lounge!
 
Well done userlame (not lame any more). Just beware that many of your friends just won't understand all this.

Not just friends! The gentleman is quite bemused by my decision to make a status credit run (or two) for WP status and has been posing questions such as "so do other people really do this?" :)
 
On page 2 OP says they made WP just a year after the original post. So a fantastic result.
