Why did you not do the QF challenge if offered to you?
Reads as if you do not fly enough to maintain status. Are you an infrequent flyer?

Frequent flyer life is not a free ride
Just finishing law school and had to take some time away from flying to focus on that. Take your point that it isn't a free ride. Didn't take the QF challenge because it would only have given me 2 months more OW sapphire than my AB status match gave me.
Still keen to find a way to extend the *G by either matching current ANZ or AB.
Will be back in the air from mid-year so the grounding will be temporary, as it were. Thanks all!
