Wife Swapping

[Gazza]

Now that I have your attention.

One of my best mates is doing a round the world in Y along with her infant son and partner (I know, I know but she just wont spend the money on J).

Most flights are QF/AA/BA.

My question is can I make her my "partner" (as in partner Gold).

Already have my missus as my "partner" but she never travels unless she is with me anyway so PG for her is a woftam.

Can I swap them in the middle of the partner gold year?

Anyone tried this before?

There is a requirement that the partner must have the same residential address as the member. As far as I know that is the primary requirement.

In my humble opinion, it will be too difficult.

* If you had no PG already - possible; but you need to advise Qantas you have separated from your existing registered partner and have now had a new partner move in. They may, quite reasonably IMHO, ask fro proof!

And the old card back too... Sounds too tricky to me, and liable to fall through somewhere. Can't she/her partner spend the $$$ and get a Qantas Club membership for 1 year? Should be well worth the $ involved.

You lost my attention pretty quick. Why should she spend the money on J exactly? Seems to me a fairly ridiculous question but I'm prepared to be corrected.

Do you mean BlacKnox - why should she pay for a J rather than a whY ticket?

That's pretty obvious to me - better comfort, food, service...

Or save the $7000 and spend it on better comfort, food and service at the destination rather than getting to the destination. That kind of money goes a long way towards upgraded accommodation in most places (except NYC or course).

Oh yes, and spend a few hundred of those saved $7000 on a Qantas Club membership.

One of the relatively unmentioned advantages of that low cost DONEx (NRT CMB MRU) is that by the time you get back if you credited to AA and if you started out as a PLT (OW Sapphire) (or higher :mrgreen you will have very close to enough AA miles for a mini-RTW ticket (think SIN-SIN to keep the mileage down). And if really creative OW Emerald status..

Can you look far enough ahead at the two for one AAdvantage? If you don't have the spare change - fair enough....

Maybe I'm getting too old to spend 13 hours in a Y seat?

Happy wandering..
