Lifetime Status Credits ending in "1" - why?
My Lifetime Status Credits balance is currently X,X01.
Until Ansett went under, I didn't pay much attention to my QF account. Was there ever a time when status credits were earned in multiples other than 5?

Yep, I did a lot of 8 pointer MEL/SYD flights during the era of "Tier Credits"; also "Full Economy" earned 15 for flights up to 1000Km domestically.
When "Status Credits" were initially introduced they were only earned in multiples of 10, but for a long time I had a Lifetime tally ending in an incongruous 5.

I actually have a log of my flights dating back to when I started in QFF. SYD-PER was 12 SCs and others mention, 8 for MEL-SYD.
My first flight was on 12 Jan 2001 under the QFF program so I only had a few months on the old system, but my lifetime credits are x,886. Had quite a few friends ask about that as they're newcomers to the QFF program

IIRC, when the changes came in circa 2001, 1 Upgrade Credit (UC) = 1 Status Credit, if you had any left over...

In 2001 "Tier Credits" were replaced by "Status Credits". One's ongoing lifetime SC total includes any "Tier Credits" earned before 2001 at a 1:1 basis.

Presently 9,xx8.
Joined in mid-2000 and I believe the 8 came from a discounted SYD-JFK trip I did that year as did not do muc domstic travel until 2003 by which time I think the points system had changed.
Upcoming finish to a DONE and some other trips should push me over 11,000 by year end.
