Longest time to get Lifetime Silver??

Joined 1998 proud Bronze FF until 2008, WP since. LTS Oct 2012 will be LTG in Oct 2015.
LTP ???? (Hanging out for that one )

I thought I was going slow. join 1996. LTS in around 2012 or 2013. Just cracked 10000 SC, 19 years after joining.

 

[CaptJCool]

Ah yes if only there was credit for Ansett travel. Joined February 2002. I'm roughly guessin it was in 2012 or 2013 got past LTS. WHEN The JASA WERE IN VOGUE.....

Almost exactly the same as me - joined 1996, LTS in 2013, currently have 10,376 SCs.

punched LTG out in 10 years.

Crazy that you can potentially reach LTS/LTG and never have any status before you hit lifetime.

This is actually quite an interesting thread from the F/JASA point of view. They were killed off because pax were obtaining status too cheaply/quickly/easily/??? yet here we see AFF members who used F/JASAs (myself included) but have taken/are taking 20+ years to obtain LTS, nevermind LTG.

Yes. But some of us were still late starters.

So far it's' taken me almost 29 years to amass a total of 6,372 status credits so I should've knocked off the additional 628 required by 11 Sep 2016 which will be my 30 year date of joining anniversary.

So that would make you about 40 years old then ?

Yes it would be a game changer for many if it was introduced and at a level that is achievable - I think BA want 35,000 SCs for the equivalent. Won't hold my breath waiting to find out what "Never" means in Qantas speak!

Not sure about LTP but I got to LPW some years ago.

Lifetime Platinum? Qantas? Hahaha.

It had taken me just over 10 years to reach Lifetime Gold. A lot sooner than I ever expected I could get there. Lots of cheap SCs unlikely to be seen again.

I took less than eight years from zero to LTG with work travel, JASAs and the odd DSC. Now they've all finished I'm not sure how much longer I'll be WP. But it's been a fun ride and who knows what the future holds.

 

[Gaspode]

I joined in 1997 and have 715 Liftetime SC. So using that as an average I only have around 157 years to go! So close I can taste it...

Agree the ride has been fun and it is still fun for me even though Gold and Platinum are getting closer each day.

Looks kike I will only earn ~800 SCs this membership year but will still push to retain Platinum by 31 May 2016.

 

[Buzzard]

I only joined in 2003. OK, so I'm a bit slow.
Doubt I will ever get above Life Time Tin

 

[Awesom Andy]

I'm due to get LTS in 2 months, so it's good to know I'll have life time free exit row seats with a competitor airline (until they change the rules).

You must have a crystal ball GPH - how on earth did you know I was only 11 years old then? *cough*

Why don't you live dangerously and hope for a comp

I tried that ... lucky, I had a backup!

LOL. Not with my luck.

 

[Himeno]

I joined in 2006. Got LTS in 2012. I'll have LTG in October.
