Will you still earn/retain Velocity status beyond 2025?

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?

Well you are responsible for the whole APAC region, @IainF, makes sense that your travel is the highest. You’re also increasing their market share and I’d hazard a guess, you have the best growth figures across all regional heads.

I had an issue a few years ago with QF and am holding a grudge.
