i recently completed my status run to retain gold, and my husband will do the same in the next coule of month.
however due to unforseen circumstances that wont be made public for 12 weeks we have decided we wil most likely totally wind back our self funded /points travel for the next year. (husband upset because he has enough points to fly virgin east to west one way for two, and then return either with AA points or QF points)
As a result we wont retain gold.
my thoughts/question..... when we fly we 90% of the time fly j when j is available
we have been taking family, that take us to the airport, into the lounge when flying y or j because we are gold.
so back to my thoughts/question, if we almost always fly j
what is our reason to stay gold
points???
when we can purchase AA points and they get us further within australia then QFF points (we do not plan outside oz tarvel during the next three years)
what are the gold things we are truly going to miss out on
