If we had our points roll over, I think that would be a fairly good compromise. Travel still isn't returning to normal levels next year, and so for many people, hitting status in 2022 off of just 2022 flying isn't realistic, but could be by combining the two years together.
That or the Gold target to re-qal needs to be reduced down so say 400SP over the next 12 months.
800SP from domestic only flying is pretty hard, especially because they are putting an lot of additional seats into the cheaper fare brackets on the main trunk hence less SP.
With no Tasman Bubble, there goes all the changes of getting 80-100SP from an return trip in PE.
