Way to accelerate status?
 
Just returned to Australia after 6 years overseas. Am top tier with American but want to start rebuilding my Qantas points/status.

Is there a way to accelerate getting back to Gold/Platinum status?

Thanks in advance

JB no longer in Irvine

Do a lot of flying in premium cabins in a short space of time :)

Qantas do not have things like AAs candy thief challenge nor are likely to match status. I dont see the prob really anyway; by having Executive Platinum status with AA you have just about all the benefits that you would have as a QF Platinum.

Also I would seriously consider whether you would be better off staying with the AA scheme due to the much better value for redemptions that AA offers

Thanks for the response Dave. This is what I was thinking.
