QF do seem to renew to Gold or Silver (or perhaps WP also) "early" (say with a few SC's remaining) but I wonder if also these new benefits at the 2400 SC level and 3600 SC for WP1, they want to keep a more tight ceiling on that to, if you will, protect the benefit's exclusive nature? Hard to tell really.

Anyway if the OP decided not to do a SC run to get there I guess they don't feel the additional benefit choice is worth that effort. Everyone's mileage varies on that point. I'll prob hit there by the end of next month myself but I don't really care. I have someone in mind for SG status, because 50k points don't mean a lot to me, and the valet parking/Chauffeur drive things... I can do without tbh. everyone's different though.
