Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[DC3]

Clicked into LTG on Sunday. Did I make the midnight deadline?

Too funny by far

If anything were to happen, then this is probably the one that matters:

3.2 Qantas Loyalty will use best efforts to advise Members of material changes to these Terms and Conditions and, where such changes will limit Benefits:

(a) where the Benefit is provided by Qantas, to give Members at least three months notice;
.

The same best efforts that provided a full month’s notice last year of the changes to QP guesting rules? Not a great precedent.

For me LTG (achieved before COVID) has meant going to other networks because LTP is an impossible dream.

From a marketing perspective to me it seems counterintuitive.

On MEL-SYD the other day in J, the FA came to my partner and I and discreetly offered us first choice from the lunch menu. Nice to know that even as a lowly LTG it's still possible to outrank everyone else in the business cabin

Also how many ltg are there ? Too many to get first class lounge access for life ????

LTG not eligible for First class lounge unless also Platinum or flying First Class

@opusman we were treated to a "glass" of wine, then bottle on disembarking, by the CSM as SG (may have been the Ferrero Rocher gift given to crew as thanks - without any expectations.)

They were an exceptional crew to all pax on QF879.

I imagine the question of what 'material' actually means, would come into play on that one... I know a number of people were irritated by a change to what type of guest you can bring in, but shifting the goalposts on something like lifetime status would impact a much larger group, in much broader ways, even with grandfathering of existing LTG memberships.

Nice one. 6 years is pretty impressive!

I'll be posting a thread like this in a couple of weeks.......it's taken me 17 years:shock:

19 years for me and self-funded

I think it’s a nod to those who start business flying at 40, retire at 65 and have the yearly trip somewhere on vacation in retirement.

keeps you hooked knowing there is a small benefit once you retire.

Well with my DEL to MEL flight I've finally ticked over to LTG. I can't say I feel any different but presume I must be more attractive to the ladies now.

If I identified as one, I am sure the extra bling would only add to your alure

Congrats!

They are more likely to change things to require more spend per SC going forward than to increase the number of LTSC needed to earn LTG.

I am still years away from LTG on my current flying trends.

I came to the conclusion it helps with the ladies as I can't fathom who else @JohnM is attractive to PJM. She's a lovely lady and I haven't noticed anything obviously wrong with her. So can only assume its the LTG status JohnM has that makes him attractive

Will someone please stomp on that stroppy kid.

It’s the 4X4. Enough said.

This thread went down-hill pretty fast

Just reflecting the current value attributed to QFF LTG.
Mostly there are other OW airlines for wandering
