That's interesting. My statement currently says:
Status credits earned from 01 Jan 2004: 280
Additional Status credits required by 31 Dec 2004 to retain Silver: 20
Additional Status credits required by 31 Dec 2004 to attain Gold: 420
So they're telling me I won't retain Silver for the third year if I don't fly again until January?
Moot point anyway - I'm flying up to BrisVegas on the October long weekend for my niece's christening. So, if they are any Brissy FTers at the airport on Monday 4 Oct, I'll be at the QP around lunchtime for the 1305 flight back to Canberra.
