I checked my FC account today, and to my great surprise the screen was a beautiful shade of gold.
Surprise, because by my calcs I needed my Y flight PVG-LHR at Christmas to gain the last point I needed to reach gold.

So when I checked the account I noticed what had happened:

I did a recent batch of flights on SQ, which should have netted me 20TP's however, only one of the 4 flights appeared on my account, so I went through the procedure to claim missing miles from partner airlines, and included ticket stubbs and boarding cards for the whole journey (4 flights). They appear to have credited all four flights I sent in, so I got double credit for one flight.

So now the question, for which I can guess the answer from all you honest V-Flyers.... Should I tell them? [}:)]
I guess the worst the can happen is in a few days, the mistake will be noticed and the offending extra flight deleted, resetting me to Silver and needing 1TP to reach gold.

And the best... they won't notice it, and I can show up at PVG before xmas, armed with a print out of my account details, use the Upper Class check-in and the lounge, and hey, who knows, maybe stand a better chance of any OP-Ups on offer.

I think I'll wait and see what happens. Does anyone else have any experience of similar problems when claiming partner miles?

This sort of thing has happened in the past, chances are you will be lucky and get away with it. After all, as you say, in a couple of weeks you will have earned enough TPs to be legitimately Au anyway. I would keep quiet and hope you get premature use of the UC check-in and CH!

Given you're going to be gold soon anyway, even if you did call FC, I'm sure they'd thank you for your honesty but wouldn't downgrade you (after all, that's extra paperwork!).

Congrats on getting to Gold status. Hope you enjoy the extra benefits (including the occassional Op Up ;))

Thanks guys. Just the sort of reply I expected.
Here's hoping it slips through, i'll be checking daily!

Now then... where are those 30TP's for renewal going to come from [:?]
