VA Partner Gold - 2022

[Astro]

Hello!

Is partner gold still awarded with 1500 SC's in a review period?

My review date is 28 Feb. I will have done 660SC in the first two months of the period this year. I know it is DSC at the moment but the travel is likely to continue so I am expecting to hit around 2000 this year.

Is there the opportunity for partner gold? Or gift gold? Or companion gold? Has anyone experienced this in the last few months?

At 1300 SC you can gift gold (retain plus 500 SC).
