I would think many students who study abroad can even qualify to be OZ Diamond. Hell, I could have become OZ Diamond when I was just 18 yr old purchasing discount Y fares if I choose OZ instead of UA from the beginning. (2 roundtrip ORD-HKG per year) Too bad OZ did not start flying to ORD until July 2005.
