HI Everyone,
Apologies if there is a thread on this already but I couldn't find it. I am so very new to all of the "workings" of frequent flyer programs as I have not really travelled that much until January 2017 when I started a job which required travelling every week domestically. I am now a Gold member with VFF we have no say in the choice of airlines, company books whichever fare is the cheapest at the time & usually with Virgin. However, they generally don't book until a few days before departure date.
Currently, I am sitting on 731 SC so 269 short of making platinum, in order to upgrade, the App tells me I need to achieve this by 6th December, as it is down time in November for us, I haven't travelled much, my next trip is to HKG on 28th November 2017, flights have not been booked yet & I do get a say in which airline this time. Also will be going to HKG regularly in 2018 around February. My questions are:
1. What are my options to achieve Platinum if at all possible by 6th December?
2. Which airline should I book the flight from BNE to HKG to get maximum SC?
3. If I don't achieve the 269 points by 6 December, what happens? Also noticed that I will start loosing SC.
4. I am also a member of QFF but currently only bronze, would I be better off trying to get more SC with Qantas instead & just remain Gold with VFF?
Thank you so much in advance & would appreciate any advice at all on FF programs even if is not related to this particular question.
