From what I can see now it looks the same.Out of curiosity, did you find that you had greater, or just the same, redemption choice/availability as soon as you had Gold Status?

View attachment 262893 I had no idea about this promo until today
Transferred points from Amex MR and instantly booked two J returns to LHR yesterday evening.
Email arrived this morning with update to status.
What chances of SYD/JFK F return?I am now seriously considering this as I have enough MR points to easily get 250000 KF miles.As well I have reduced my account dramatically with 4 J saver awards between BNE and SIN.Two F saver awards SIN-FRA,4 J saver awards on the 380 between SIN and LHR and last 2 J saver awards HND-SIN.
First flight not until March so will transfer just before the promotion ends.
I'm only looking at it to help extend my expiring points come mid next year.. gets you 12 month extra expiry rather than 6 for no status when you pay with points for an extension..FWIW I was Elite Gold for an extended period pre discovering AFF and subsequently implementing learned strategies to secure pointy end travel.
i dId ~100 odd MEL-Sino flts in Y - EG status gave me Lounge access - KF J in MEL / *Gold in SIN / J Lounge in PEK or PVG and a guest when flying Y which was a good bonus when flying multi sector flts.
I rcvd several Y->J upgrades but only when Y cabin oversold. Upgrades are always handed out in order of status. I once had a J~>F upgrade SIN-MEL handed to me when I was on a rdpt itinerary on same flt where a mate with no status was travelling J on a commercial tix missed out. Again upgraded due to status
Never did I notice any preferential treatment re availability or release of rdpt inventory being EG - preferential treatment in this matter only came about after building rships with KF call ctr staff due to sheer weight of contact trying to secure release of J / F WL after I had the bank of pts to work with.
I still hold basic KF status and just have not cared about seeking higher level due to years and years of pointy end travel via rdpts. But if anybody sees a benefit in higher status that is basically given away via a pts transfer then I would say go for it.

Does the 15% bonus stack for this status without flying promo?
How about 434k MR points in Nov (converting to 249,550 KrisFlyer points), then a further 900 MR points in Feb to get the Gold status from then until Feb 2023?Seeing I was going to transfer 500000 MR points by February I might as well transfer 100000 in November and the rest in Feb.An extra 7500 points for nothing.
How about 434k MR points in Nov (converting to 249,550 KrisFlyer points), then a further 900 MR points in Feb to get the Gold status from then until Feb 2023?
Just not quite sure if the 250k Krisflyer points requirement would count the bonus points on conversion...
Apart from the 10k KF minimum... You're giving me ideas!How about 434k MR points in Nov (converting to 249,550 KrisFlyer points), then a further 900 MR points in Feb to get the Gold status from then until Feb 2023?

From the FAQ of the linked webpage provided in the promotional email
I hope the "Unlock..." campaign is the same 250k KF points requirement campaign we are targeting?!
