Hi folks,
Fairly new to this, having not really paid much attention to collecting SC previously - and therefore not really attained anything previously! However, this year I made VA Silver, and I've just been upgraded to Explore Gold through the flybuys offer... so they have now got my attention. I was about 90 SC away from making Gold the hard way, so good timing.
So, the carrot on the stick is that I now need to acquire 80SC in the next 3 months to maintain Gold status.
I'm still working out how to calculate exact Status Credits based on fares. So, feel free to just point me in the right direction here.
I pool my wife's VA membership. We were planning a trip to Cairns, so we could make that trip in the next 3 months.
Is the following correct?
One way SYD > CNS - Gateway = 15 SC; Elevate = 30 SC and Freedom = 45 SC
I ask, as I flew CNS > SYD in May on a Freedom fare, but only gained 30 SC - looks like that should have actually been 45 SC?
Secondly, to get 80 SC in one return trip SYD > CNS, one flight needs to be Gateway and one flight needs to be Elevate = 15 + 15 + 30 + 30 = 90 SC
Is all the above correct??
Or I could go SYD > BNE > CNS to gain additional SC? How does that work?
Thanks in advance...!
