DONE fares applied correctly are ideal for requalifications and exploiting market inefficiencies. Just purchased our third RTW to extend emerald on QR with one ticket that will be used for 2027-2028 member year! BA emerald will carry us through April, after which QR emerald will kick in for a year and then another year thanks to flying around the world in comfort for less than 7K USD. I am surprised that even BA status can be gained without spending an arm and a leg - thanks for sharing.
