If I have misread and he is currently platinum, then I would wait and see whether QFF chooses to requalify despite not making the target
I am currently Platinum, short 160 points to requalify as Platinum.
To answer some of the other questions;
I'm currently in Europe, so a status run to NZ is out of the option - besides, I'm not really into flying for the sake of flying and can't understand people that do. Maybe I just do too much! I'm going to see a friend a couple of hours away for the weekend, this will get me 120 points and with some luck qantas will look favourably on my closeness to missing out.
I have done very few flights (6?) with QF this year, to be honest, I don't really like them and when there are other far better airlines plying the same routes as QF, why would I take QF....
So, hopefully, as a number of you have suggested here they will be kind enough to requalify me despite me missing out. Unless they happen to read my real thoughts on QF, of course.....
