I'm currently Lifetime Gold and Plat+ with VA.
I've got about 2900 SCs with 5 months left to play on my renewal date.
I have got BNE-DOH-MAN in J return this week on QR. booking the VA code.
I do that again in April.
I've got about 12 segments booked on SQ in J (Elite gold and PPS with them now) in the next 3 months.
There is a J return to DFW on UA in May as well as about 12 returns domestic J on VA in the next few months.
I am genuinely wondering if I shouldn't just keep my SQ gold & push everything else to my QR to get Plat with them.
That at least will give me Oneworld Emerald and F lounge access.
I can't in good conscience move to QF FF but would claw back my AA Plat Pro pretty easily if I started booking QF.
I do kinda wonder if VA are interested in my $$$$ because apart from a shiny new belt buckle luggage tag, I haven't really seen any love.
that's a lot of flying :-) I'm sticking to VA as I've got QF LTG but can never quite get to QF Platinum (while VA Plat is achievable). If you're earning 2900 SCs in 7 months why not aim for QF LTP?
