Bruceb - thanks for the feedback - good to have you answering stuff. Thank you

Now I made a boo boo above with my comment about lifetime status. I thought I read it was 7,500 credits, but it's 14,000 (re-reading the physical brochure) and that makes it much harder to make lifetime than before, but brings you into line with AA/UA who require 1,000,000 miles flown, but their top tier levels require 100k each year to qualify, ergo: 10 years at elite level and you're million miler/lifetime. At QF it's the same (basically) - 1400 credits for plat level, 10 years @ plat and you're a lifer.

One other thing that I notice QF has not made any comment about in the booklet, and thus I would assume is permitted (but likely will be changed real soon now) is....

double upgrades

There's nothing to say that an upgrade award can't be used on top of another so to go Y->J->F using miles. Did I read this wrong?

I still think the tier credits screw most flyers.
