2. I have a lot of travel comming this year, if I requalify for gold again this year do I get another 40 Qcredits? Or would it roll into 2018 and this have a January 1st issuance?

it seems kinda wierd to me that once you hit platinum there are no more Qcredit perks to keep flying beyond the goal.

thanks!
You do not get 40 Qcredits for Gold if you immediately requalify for Platnium. However, you can perform a controlled downgrade to gold and be back in Plat with one flight in Gold, by crediting excessive flights to another programme, in which case you will earn 100Qcredits as opposed to 60.
