Hey does anyone know when the bronze, silver, gold and platinum stats change? How many points do you need to go from let's say silver to gold? Thanks.
Hey Greenie,
It's not done on your points balance but on your yearly accrued status credits which is that other number that appears on the top of your FF statements. Also noted in a similar spot on your statement is your anniversary date.
On that date your previous status credits get wiped and you start from scratch for the next 12months. You need 400 to get to Silver 800 for Gold 1200 for Platinum.
Silver doesn’t really get ya much more, just a bit more baggage allowance and a few other things. It’s when you get to gold that it get’s good with access to the Lounges etc. Hope this helps
Yep, and if you don't maintain your status points at the levels required each year when it starts over again you drop a level - bastard company I worked for went & changed carriers the day I reached platinum - now back to bronze with a few hundred thousand points I'll use one day - oh well, you win some, you lose some.
Sweet thanks for the help.
Looks like Im about to turn gold if its 700.
If I have calculated it correctly it looks like I will go platinum within a year
I used to care about being a gold/platnium frequent flyer. They want you to feel special.
Thank god, I get to sleep in my own bed every night now. Must be pathetic bronze now.
if you really get enuf then you can get silver gold platinum for life! serious mileage though. Like that george cloony movie? forget what it was called.
Which is a better deal if spending $3000 a month?

Tips from Pugsie:
Fly business class, then it doesn't matter
Oh, unless you have platinum or platinum one, and you can go to the first class lounge and can get upgraded to a first class seat...
But, you can always take the secret door from the business lounge to the first class lounge and still get the silver service
