Lifetime Silver/Gold - Shortest time to reach

[simongr]

Hmm - hard to track back but I think I am virtual lifetime silver sat on a virtual 8000+ SCs. I switched to AA just after my first RTW in J so its a little hard to calculate but if I had put all flights from Sep 06 onwards to QF I would be comfortably sat on 8000+ SCs... might go rework that on the one day next week

In November, I re-qualified WP earning the 1200 SC's within 5 days of my new year mainly by using YUPs.

Now with the 16 segment limit; the most that seems to be available with a DONEx seems to be about 2200 SC's.

Winetraveller, if you can make LH SEN in 19 days you must do eve more flying than i thought !! thats a lot of miles in a short time. And LH SEN is worth having from what i see with the guys i work with.

This included one F RTW, one F return from FRA to JFK, and another from FRA to YVR, plus few flights around Europe. It was in the midst of a huge global product launch.

SEN not nearly as good as HON Circle

What's a YUP?

Instant upgrade Fares. You book a Coach fare and get "instantly upgraded" to first class.

They generally earn First class SC's with the QFF program.

Here's a pertinent thread: (Note that HNL is no longer inexpensive)

• Good SC earning value ex HNL travelling AA First

Hmm - first cut of the estimate - putting all flights to QFF would have me at 10,055 SCs earned since July 2006 :shock: plus about 1500 existing SCs - knocking on the door of LTG...

Wow
