Not making the cut
I've had a quiet(er) year with VA mainly because some of the domestic trips went QF's way. So I will be 30SC short of re-qualifying for Gold. Will VA waive this? Otherwise will it be a case of dropping back to Silver, then having to get 100SC on top to re-achieve Gold?
Unfortunately, impending overseas travel means no status runs despite trying -and failing to get SQ/EY into the mix.

They have been known to comp status - many of the matched ones of two years ago were comped again last year.
I have seen reports elsewhere of this happening but really the only way to be sure is to fly.
What date does your SG status run out? When were the firs of your 370 SC's earned?
Note that with the rolling qualification and soft landing, you would drop to PS - and get back to SG if you can increase your 12 month s

If I was able to fit in a flight I'd have done so. It's proven really hard to be honest, specially with having good value BAEC redemptions on QF.

(If they drop me down, no real problem as I'll likely be able to regain by the end of Nov)

Merci. 
Accounts still shows as Plat.
We have a few confirmable upgrades left in each accounts so if "Review Date" was Sept 30, we can apply those to Flexi fares for almost next 2 weeks you imagine?

No matter what happens with the review - those domestic confirmable upgrades WILL disappear if not applied.
The max you will have if you continue as WP will be 4. If you do not continue as WP and drop to SG then you would have 0.

Down to Silver and now shows that I need another 130SC and 4 flights to regain Gold.
Something to note, all my flights with the exception of the AMEX complimentary ones were flex, with about quarter in Business.
VA doesn't take this into consideration.

130 Sc's and 4 "flights" means in the last "12 months" you have earned 370 SC's, but not on VA.
The four flights requirement is not very onerous - with fore planning I'm sure you could get some CBR travel on VA amounting to that.

It's taken into consideration in the SC calculation for a given flight.
