i think ive seen this asked before. i recently had a coolangatta - melbourne flight for myself and daughter. the flight down earn was enough to get my status over the 1000 mark to gain platinum. as usual it took about a week for the credits to come through and then to have my status to be upgraded. in the meantime i earned 40 for the return trip. the additional 40 went into my account before my upgrade. Are those 40 lost ?
