Great chart FLYGVA, a very useful reference source ^

A couple of things to adjust on the Other section of the QF bit :-

a) You have written "Gold card for partner @ 2100 TP", but it should be '2100 SC' of course !

b) Re. "request J seat for dom flights", in the case of award inventory you can as a WP (as a Platinum) actually request international J award seats as well (as can QF Golds, btw, I understand) - if no seats available on a flight a WP speaks to QF Premium and they put in a request for a J seat. System sometimes gives an immediate yes, and if it does not they then put in a request which is evaluated somewhere and a decision is made within a day or two. You can request once per flight, but can request it for as many flights as you like. (And in my experience if all this does not work they will put in an F seat request then too). You however cannot request a Y seat if one has not been released into award inventory.

Oh, and as a WP you get an additional 15kg luggage allowance (but only on QF) on international flights (or 1 more bag on flights to and from USA), and two more bags on Australian domestic flights.

QF's own status comparison chart on this btw is here - http://www.qantas.com.au/fflyer/dyn/...atusPrivileges, and BAs list of Gold benefits is here http://www.britishairways.com/travel...d/public/en_gb if anyone wants full specifcs on these particular progs.
