OOPS, GUYS pardon me for asking but still need to ask you a really noob question. sorry!
as i've just been EG and will not receive my card before my next flight, how will i be able to get lounge access? and which lounges would you guys recommend at SFO?
thanks for all your help!

Congratulations for getting your EG!
Hope it will not be a precedent for other flyers to tweak in the request for qualifying period adjustment.
Regarding lounge access, I thought there was a thread asking the same question long time ago. Anyway, my question would be, for SFO, are you going to fly out from international terminal, or domestic? I know that if you want to access RCC at domestic terminal, the lounge staff would like to see your actual *G card.
For international terminal, if SKL opens, I believe you will not have any problem gaining entry, because the staff can look up the system to verify your status.

Dear MOD:
Perhaps it's better to move the discussion about lounge access to appropriate place. Perhaps this one?

I'll be flying out of the international terminal, so i'll prob try the SKL.
any other lounges worth visiting? btw is there also an SKL at narita/hongkong?
thanks!
SFO SKL
The other option would be UA RCC based on your *G status. But again, in general, the staff wants to have your card handy.
At NRT, there is the NH C lounge as well as UA RCC.
In HKG, there are SKL, UA RCC as well as TG.

New account = 12 month period to earn 50,000 miles for Elite Gold
Existing account = 12 month period to earn 25,000 miles for Elite Silver, then 50,000 miles to earn Elite Gold = 75,000 miles total.
This has been brought up many times. One will only need 50000 miles in a 12 month period regardless whether he/she is a new member or existing member. You have had poor experience dealing with krisflyer over that issue but it has passed so lets move on. There's no such thing has 75000 miles to achieve Gold in a 12 month period.

In the case where your Krisflyer account is not in the 12 month period since you enroled in Krisflyer (eg after 1st KF membership year):
- I agree that you can call Krisflyer once you have credited 50,000 miles to your account within in your membership year and have them upgrade you to gold.
- However this is not automatic, therefore the majority if KF members who don't know about SQTalk, flyertalk etc will be flying 75,000 miles to reach gold.
- It is documented in the Krisflyer Programme Guide (page 20) & Krisflyer Web Site to become Elite Gold you need 50,000 miles *after* reaching Elite Silver (which requires 25,000 miles in itself), giving 75,000 miles required to reach gold
Its a different story if you're account is in the first 12 months since enrolment - then its 50,000 required to reach gold (system updates automatically).
So lets agree to disagree - I agree that you can ask KF to upgrade you after flying 50,000 miles, however its not automatic and its not the official KF programme rules.matt_will_fix_it

Hi All,
just to add to the debate, i've been a member of Krisflyer for a few years and was just wade KF Gold based on 50,000 miles travel in the current 12 month period. Maybe the airline is relaxing the criteria in these difficult times
