Need 240 status points to reach platinum - only have three days to do it suggestions?

[davidpracy]

HI
I am new to the forum.
I need to get 240 SC in the last three days of January to reach Platinum.

Can anyone suggest the best way to do this domestically in three days?

Thanks
Dave

Where are you based? and are you paying cash or points?

Hi
Based in Canberra and open to paying cash and points or just points.
I have just seen CBR-SYD-Hobart return in business for 60k FF points - just trying to work out if 40 minutes between flights is long enough - I assume it will be the same plan on the return flight.

Thanks

It all depends on and how much you want to spend.

A popular one is TSV-BNE-DRW and return in J and that is 240 plus for you another 50 in y positioning flight.

CBR/SYD/HBA return will give you 200SC, and can be done in a day without repositioning, also gives you access to two Business lounges.
As far as I am aware the flight from Sydney returns to Sydney. You can reduce points down to 32,000 by paying some cash. In fact that's what I would be doing.
Then fairly easy to get the extra 40SC with a quick JASA CBR/SYD, with RedE Deal return.

I would suggest that you plan ahead a little better next year .

Have a look at CBR-SYD-ADL as well. It can be done in a day and will reap 200 SCs for the return trip.
