I've earned 1575 SC since April, starting from zero (so that is my total lifetime SC).

My reading of the T&C say that since I've earned 500 SC over my Platinum status requirement, I can gift Gold. But I don't see anything in my profile regarding that.

A search here uncovers several confusing threads, but they are all 4-5 years old. So I thought I would post here just in case the T&C have changed since then.

Cheers
 
Sorry you need to earn 2300 SCs to gift gold as its 500 on top of maintaining Platinum so 800 to maintain and 500 to gift gold

Yep - can't gift until you've qualified again for year two...
 
So a better strategy would be to family pool SC's after 1000? And then after 800 in subsequent years?
 
Just remember that with family pooling, the family member you are pooling to also needs to fly the minimum number of required flights to obtain any status benefits.

If pool to them 1,000 SC, but they haven't flown 8 segments, then they won't get any status.

That's a shame. Very little incentive for me to continue to credit to VA then. I can renew my Delta status before I'd be able to gift Gold.

I don't have any way to use family pooling really.
 
I think your requalification year/date changes and updates when you reach a new status level? I could be wrong - check your dates in the account status online, but from reaching 1000, your 800 requalification for year two may start immediately and all credits achieved start to count towards that.
