Thank you everyone for your great input! People say for example you can earn Gold with Singapore for 50'000 points but don't you need to earn Silver first, then the points reset and then 50'000 on top of that?
Yes, it is typical I fly 3 times per year from Australia to Europe. At least 2 times, and sometimes 4 times.
Thanks everyone

I'm a little confused now though! haha.
