VA Forever Gold said:4,596 of 12,000 Status Credits earned
You still need 7,404 (at least 6,790 from your VA marketed and/or operated flights) - you can earn these at any time.

I totally agree and also unfair for those of us who earned a lot of SCs prior to 2013! They should have given everyone who was a member prior something - maybe 1000 SCs added to the Lifetime total for all long term members.Grandfathering in a base of already loyal members is smart, and having a rules 'adjustment' moving forward, is how these things usually work.
7 additional years in my case….I totally agree and also unfair for those of us who earned a lot of SCs prior to 2013! They should have given everyone who was a member prior something - maybe 1000 SCs added to the Lifetime total for all long term members.
Same question from me - watching points that I have family-pooled (or have been pooled to me) vanish entirely because both my wife and I have strategically pooled over 3000 SC's to each other over the years to maximise status is particularly frustrating.......I wonder how many actually qualified for it. Seems all the posts so far appear to show its clearly impossible
Further up the thread, IainF noted that when he requested his SC history back in March, it had every flight he had credited to VFF since 2006. VFF claim that the 2013 date is as far back as they can go due to a switchover in their systems, but that's clearly incorrect based on IainF's post - so it seems that VFF either don't have the desire to include earlier flights, or they don't have the programmers capable of extracting the earlier data correctly, or both7 additional years in my case….
Plus 5yrs before that during the DJ days.
I joined the very first day the program started back in 2005... and at that stage flew more VA short hops... and lots of Etihad in flex economy in mid-2000s... I'm now more likely to get QF LT Gold.7 additional years in my case….

I've got it and my wife has 20,000+ Total SCs and is just 346 Scs away from the "Flown on VA" section, which she will hit in the next 8 weeks.I wonder how many actually qualified for it. Seems all the posts so far appear to show its clearly impossible
You can go on the chat on the App and they will send you the excel sheet of all your earning flights.I have 12,000 out of 12,000 so will qualify for FG, or should that be FEG? I'm assuming I haven't got exactly 12k SC; it would be interesting to know just how many I do have. I thought I might be in with a reasonable chance having done just over 500 flights on VA and SQ since 2012, so needed an average of 23 SC's per flight. Good to have the pigeon pair of LTG and FEG now I have retired and doing far less domestic travel.
Your outcome draws out some interesting reflections:I put all of my VA flying to Velocity and from 2016-2020 I would fly monthly to LAX & HKG on VA in J.
I was earning 6000+ SCs a year on VA, particularly when the double SCs were on.

Probably just the skewing effect of the people most likely to post about this being those who are annoyed at being furthest away. Clearly there are going to be many who have already qualified or are close. I'm sure VFF have done the numbers.I wonder how many actually qualified for it.

This status restructure just makes less and less sense.I hear WP+ will be joining the VIP tier
