Yowzers ! Well that puts a whole new face on things... I said I wasn't an expert on AA didn't I !

Ergo comparisons between AA and QF Life Status earning levels are pretty pointless... and a person just has to buy a big house on a credit card and they will have AA Life Platinum status !!!

Think I might move to the US for a few months, get a credit card, and do just that... though with US house prices falling at the rate they are I might need to buy about 5 big houses !
