VA Platinum Veterans -- who else has it since it was introduced?

[777]

Saw someone in another thread saying something about having been VA Platinum for 4 years.

Just curious: Who else here has been VA platinum since the day it was introduced?

I'm assuming there is a relatively small group of us who had what was then double gold worth of SCs and have remained with VA ever since. There's probably a few who were gold and got it shortly after, a few who had it and lost and quite a few more that VA have won over with status matches and their new product mix.

Anyone else a platinum veteran?

Not me, but partner has been VA Plat since introduction. Unfortunately, will probably drop back to SG this year though - sold our business, don't fly as regularly

Yup, since day 1. 25th Aug '2011? Or somewhere near that. Not for much longer though, very limited passenger flying over the last year, so I think by Aug 2017 I will have parachuted back to Red!
On the flip side, I did just gain my CPL licence, so hopefully within the year I'll always be turning left when I board....

Yeah I think I have been - however the Velocity my account website is down again so can't check.....

I status matched from QF to Gold and then, thanks to a NZ double status credit promo, became a WP in January 2012. I've never looked back.

Yep, had it since launched

Yep since launch, also had 2 companion Plat and 1 companion Gold so 3 comps in the last 3 years. We don't buy J or Flexi and I only fly domestic.. So just a lot of flights. Got the Qantas status match so I'm thinking about giving them a go. Never been on a Qantas flight in my adult life.
