What to do with PG status?

Suggest you check the details on whom you may nominate as your "Partner Gold" recipient; from memory, there are restrictions that apply.

I thought with the recent enhancements requiring 2400 SCs for Partner Gold you could nominate any friend or relative as the recipient of Partner Gold status.

OMG - I seriously hope you have discussed with your wife that you think she is undeserving of partner gold! What a lovely (albeit token) gesture for the fact that you have been missing from the household so darn much over the last year.

Small price to pay methinks.....

There may actually be restrictions mentioned but not detailed on the main page (although I have yet to find them):

20.3 Platinum Member additional benefit

20.3.1 Until 3 May 2011, Complimentary Gold Membership may be awarded to a family member or friend nominated by a Platinum Member when a Platinum Member first reaches 2,100 Status Credits within a single Membership Year

20.3.2 On and from 1 October 2010, a Platinum Member may be offered the opportunity to choose one of a selection of benefits (as determined and offered by Qantas), and that selection may include Complimentary Gold Membership, when a Platinum Member first reaches 2,400 Status Credits within a single Membership Year (unless the Platinum member has already obtained Complimentary Gold Membership under clause 20.3.1 for that Membership Year). Details of any such benefit or selection and any additional terms and conditions applicable to this benefit are provided at qantas.com.
