It's not based on spend or tier miles (as far as I know) and whatever the criteria for qualification is - is a closely guarded secret
Also my revenue would have been on the low side, as all my ticketing was done out of SIN in SGD and I only buy A class fares. Spend would have been something like US$60K total in the year. Each ticket probably cost me US$4K but it earned 55K tier miles. There are plenty of guys on this board who spend $10-12K per ticket and do it every month.
I'm sure it would be nice to have, but if you're flying in F all the time, the service on the ground and in the air is pretty good. I don't need someone to meet me at the plane (or walk me to the plane), the staff at SIN and MEL wouldn't treat me any better (my main 2 ports) and if I have any sort of issue, I know who to call to get it fixed.
