NM, having attained Lifetime Gold Status, have you ever considered asking for a refund for the 18months that you are owed?

They would probably deny it I would imagine.

Just a question I have had for all you lifetime golds out there....

I know it is something I will never achieve... I always fly free using points really.

As it was paid by my then employer, who technical no longer exists, they would likely have a problem making such a refund to the party that made the payment.

Are you suggesting that, as a QP Life, if I reach Life Gold I could ask for half my life back? That would be attractive

Re: QF Club & Gold Status

So that is the reason I've gone back to crediting my flights to QF - to get a refund on my (personally paid) Lifetime QP membership.

Hell, they should gie me the majority of the money paid, I think I lasted a year before I hit Gold and then Plat (and now back to Gold).

Yes, but they may wait until they can determine an accurate percentage to be repaid. And that percentage can only be determined once they have confirmation of the expiration date of your lifetime membership .

Good God, why would you want to?

I can't imagine anything worse than an eternity with Celine Dion.

I plan to go out in style around 55!
