Life Time Gold - The [Realistic] Holy Grail

[CaptJCool]

I've already decided to just settle in at the LTG base camp

I’m with you on this one

If it took 23 years to make 14,000 then LTP is a pipe dream

Those cheap reward JQ are the “bus of the future” free food and champagne and Chivas Regal to get through the 1-2 hour flight ex Adelaide
(And before the pile-on, I got “trained” into loving the QC seeing there’s only been a QC in ADELAIDE until May this year

Took me 24 years to reach LTS and even then, only got across the line from a recent burst of international flex J fares for work. When I had a couple of SG runs over the years, getting to LTS was not even on the radar. I'm happy though, no more economy check-in ques when travelling One World!

I'm not sure if this is the correct thread but someone stated that I could claim the unused portion of a QC membership when I achieved LTG. I've looked into it and found that Qantas don't keep records far enough back to resolve this. So no luck on my part. That was 2011 when I had been Gold for a few years. 2013 was when I started WP.

I call BS on that because mine was well before that and I got my refund. HUACA?

@Beano - I think this is the thread you're after....

Thread 'Unused QC pro-rata refund?'

Mar 22, 2023

I've had ~22 months of paid Qantas Club membership 'parked' since 2010 when courtesy of a DONE4 I jumped from NB to WP in a couple of months (and, a couple of years of SG notwithstanding, have remained there). A couple of years ago, just prior to the pandemic, I achieved LTG. So the QC membership is now redundant to me. I have read over the years (though nothing for a long time) of people receiving a pro-rata refund for the unused portion of the QC membership. I figured asking QF for money during the pandemic was probably not wise timing, however now that they are back into big...

Thanks, will give it another go. Perhaps from my company end.

I had about 12 months of paid QC which they honoured in my slow fall from Platinum , Gold and then LFS. I was self funding and changed jobs in 2003 then spent a lot of the next decade travelling .Slowed down after I left that job and then COVID came .Even through I still travelled a few times OS I did in on Etihad, so hit gold with Virgin, When my QFF gold ran out they automatically extended my QC access and sent me an email advising me of such. I went to LTS after that for about 5 years and now as work and personal travel has returned ( though not to pre-covid levels ) , I hit LTG. I might get back to platinum but no rush, LTG works.
