AU - Number of Flights Requirement

Hi Guys

Currently I'm Silver (dropped back to Silver just before Covid hit!) and am on 600tps.

The 600 were acquired as part of the refunds deal they offered - whereby you were offered miles and TP's instead of taking refunds.

I have now booked Barbados for April (which was originally New York, but I've decided to change it as I think BGI has a much higher chance of being able to go ahead in April). When I was changing it with VH, my flight out was a Z class and return was an I. I had to ring them later to sort out a friends booking and after a quick call turns out it was only an extra £90 to make the outbound an I class too! Netting me a total of 200tps per sector, so 400 for the trip +600 Bobs your uncle and I'm back in the AU Club!

BUT do I recall that a certain number of sectors have to be on VS metal? I can't find it anywhere on the website, and I am hoping that 2 will be enough, or was this requirement changed when they updated Flying Club a couple of years back?

I don’t recall VS ever having such a requirement. You might be thinking of BA, which does? Or maybe Lifetime Gold, for which the requisite TPs had to be earned on VS metal?
