Any experiences with TAP Victoria/opinions?

Check this
thread for full benefits.
Quoting myself from that thread:
Probably the 2 best features of Victoria for Gold card holders (GCH) flying TP metal are the
50% bonus miles and 50% of status miles (of flown miles) and the companion ticket at 60% of the miles.
Now the downside:
It's based on flown miles, no minimums which is horrible if you're based in the middle of Europe doing short hops. Even if you fly C.
Overall it's a very rewarding FFP for premium pax flying TP metal flying longhaul.
And it's hell if you fly cheap-Eco shorthaul, especially TP metal (as low as 10% earning on flown miles). Bizarre. Oh,
LIS-MAD is the positive exception.
I fly a couple of times a year TP cheap-Eco and I don't even credit those flights to Victoria. The last went to A3.

But I agree with the statement, specifically to
*A redemptions. 410K for a F ticket from the middle East to Australia. They must think they are SQ flying Suites on A380's.
