- I'm at 1447 and I've been a member of QFF since December 1993! Will be over 2200 by March 2005 though.

I am at 11,093 Life Time Status Credits. After joining the program in 1994. Just about to start my 4th and probably last year of Platinum with Partner Gold to give an indication of timeframes for points accural.
Sadly I lost my job on Wednesday so the quest for lifetime gold is on hold (I wonder if QF will have to issue a profit warning as a result, due to the cancellation of 4 forward J bookings, 2 USA B class trips and some domestics?
) I usually fly quite significantly in the last three months of the year, so sorry Geoff D you might find yourself a bit short of revenue this quarter.
If I can line up a new job pretty quick, I might make a run for Gold with a couple of DONE or AONE 5's just to get it out of the way. If anyone could come up with a routing that sees 2907 SC in a single itin I would be seriously interested in giving it a go.
I only have 98,429 points to go before I reach the magic million so a good DONE or AONE would sort that out as well.

Member since 2000, at the moment I'm about 500 shy of attaining life time silver (woohoo , thanks largely to lots of runs MEL-SYD- TMW/NAA/DBO/MRZ and other such destinations. Now what exactly does LTS get you? Priority tags and annual visit to the QP? Just curious.

2,500 or so here.
Havnt paid for a flight in over 12 months (except a couple dom trip), burning all these points is hard work!
Question... 14k SC is 'gold for life', but no mention of QC for life... what happends if QF change the structure and gold is the new silver (like AA) ?

Ways to go...
2,163 for me - previous company (left recently) mandated travel on *A so since April '04 I've only accrued 70 SC's. I can see I'm gonna be grovelling to Qantas FF to comp me next March - and given they comp'ed me SG this year (was 30 or so SC's short) I don't like my chances 
Cheers, gb.

Sorry Nonce
Sorry about the job loss. As for the 2907 status credits in 20 sectors, that is even pushing the boundaries for my set of routes. Perhaps if you were to AONE6 it might help as we would need all the 5000+ sectors that are out there. An aveage of nearly 150 per sector would put you into requiring A class tickets to start with and not many under the magic 2700 miles.
I'll have a think. Do you want to originate SYD/MEL?

Currently sitting on about 19,500 with the following note on the Lifetime recognition part of the Your Details page on the Qantas FF Page.
These have been accumulated since 1995. Interestingly once you receive Lifetime Gold the Qantas FF Page does not show your lifetime SC total.
"You have attained lifetime Gold recognition"

Wonder why that is? QFF doesn't want us dwelling too much on all those extra SCs above 14,000 that are worth nothing?
In Our Humble Opinion, it would be nice if they set a Lifetime Plat at a ridiculously high level of SCs.....something like 30,000. Why not? There are very few who would actually make it, but in the meantime, it would encourage long-term loyalty, one would think.
FWIW, DrD is closing fast on Lifetime Gold (less than 500 SCs away). On currently planned travel, he'll make that by January.
Then what?
DrD is making a lot of noises about changing the emphasis of where he puts his points after that, with CX Asiamiles becoming his primary membership and QF the secondary one. The big drawback with that, is that CX doesn't do the equivalent of a "Wife Gold".
But his argument is that CX treats it's top-tier members very very well, he feels better than QF.Any thoughts from other members nearing the 14,000 threshold?
PS, my own lifetime SCs are at least in the 4-figure range, but only just
All this flying on the husband's points since my "sabbatical for motherhood" began a couple of years ago has curbed my own earnings dramatcially

All this flying on the husband's points since my "sabbatical for motherhood" began a couple of years ago has curbed my own earnings dramatcially I agree with your hubby. Once you've arrived at Lifetime Gold, QF don't encourage you to stay with the programme. I'm currently looking at 3 options:
1. per your mail, start directing the points into Asia Miles. CX don't just look after their FF's better, they look after QF's better than QF do a lot of the time (I'm currently running at 1 in 2 flights being op-up'd......I think they must track your spend with them even if you're not Marco Polo / Asia Miles).
2. go for SQ, which in tandem with OW Emerald would allow almost total freedom in future travel planning. Thoughts were to keep my J travel with QF/BA to maintain minimum number of SC's to retail WP, then use SQ for F travel).
3. Start using Virgin once they start up in Dec for my HK and LHR travel.
