It has been stated that gifted Gold doesn't count, so Gold is not always Gold.
It would be totally illogical to exclude those earning Gold by sectors, though, as they have actually to earn their Gold solely on SAS (and/or WF), whereas Gold on points can be earned without flying a single sector on SK. I would say that persons flying 45 sectors on SK each year for ten years are more loyal SK customers than passengers flying a single yearly C R/T Europe-Australia on SQ for ten years!
