Velocity introduces Forever Gold lifetime status tier

[jad01]

It was a no brainer for me.
The same yearly flying habits easily get me QF Platinum but was too tight to keep VA Platinum under the new rules. My story is similar, just over 9,000 of the 12,000 required but still short 3,800 in VA.
Not a likely target for me to spend 45K with VA when I jumped ship to QF and don't fly with them at all anymore.
I flew exclusively with VA and partners for 12 years sitting at Platinum all that time.
I don't know how this can be a win for them with so many people bailing.

Has anyone noticed their Forever Gold tally has significantly changed today? My tally showed around 8300 out of 12000 yesterday and as of today shows 5925 of 12,000.

I manually track my Status Credits in a spreadsheet and it should show 8338 (I did note the tally on VA website was off by around 50 credits).

Hopefully they're doing some internal changes before October 1 by removing some of the restrictions to Forever Gold, and this is just a temporary mishap!

I'm still showing 12,000/12,000 and 9,000/9,000

No change here. Still 8k SCs, and still needing 5k on VA.

I've figured it out. They've removed all of the excess non-VA credits over 3000. Guess my hope they would change it is shortlived.
