This is quite annoying.
A number of the FF program sites say how many of 'x' is needed to increase status, but don't define what 'x' is.

I am currently Emerald with QF. Have been looking to change due to the changes with the QFF program.
It appears, based on my travel patterns (averaged over the last 4 years), that I could only get to Sapphire (or less) with the other programs.

With what's known about the QF changes, I'll take around a 30% loss in SC, so I'll still make it to QF Platinum, but won't make it to the extra Platinum options like I have the last 4 years. But they still haven't announced all the changes...
