- A return SYD-PER earns you 50 SC, you need to do 14 return flights, for a cost of $534 each or $7,476 in total to reach Gold on QF
- If you choose a Flexi Saver fare (which would net you 100 SC for the return trip, cost goes up to $858, times 7 return trips is $6,006
- If you flew business, $3,131 round-trip for 200 SC, you'd need to do 3.5 trips, or $10.958.50.

You're right - which means QF makes even more out of someone who achieves status than a comparable traveller in the average US FF program!

Delta (DL) has served notice that as of Jan 1, 2014 FF status in their plan will have a variant of the QF 4 sector rule: top tier status will require $12,500 dollar spend on DL. Lowest tier status requires $2,500. This is in addition to the miles/sectors requirement. How long will it take AA and UA etc. to match DL?
