I'm wondering if anyone has been comped a membership to the club this year. It has been something common the last couple years for people traveling over 150K miles or 150 segments. I called CP and the agent I spoke to said they hadn't been informed it was something they were doing this year, YET. I have almost 160K with about 15K more to come...
Thanks in advance.

In the past it hasn't been until the February expiration date that they extended it. I wouldn't expect anything for a while, if it's coming at all.

These are normally given to CP's who have qualified every year since the program's
inception. They may do it selectively for others, but that is the stated criteria.

My understanding is they also have some sort of "revenue" criteria, where if you spend x amount of dollars in a year they will comp the membership. Last year I spent $46k, and this was the first and only time I've ever been comped a membership.
I spoke with the people at the US Airways club when it was time for my membership to renew. She said last year they only thing they went by was the number of miles flown in the year. Anyone over 150,000 was given a comped membership.
The deelmakur is right. Early on, the CP benefits included comped membership in the Club. They scaled it back but have grandfathered all CPs who used to get comped menbership so long as they continue to be a CP. Drop from CP to Gold and return and you have to pay for the Club.
I have also heard of the 150K criteria but have never come close except I have done 136 segments in a year. I think I am in the running for Prince of Pain this year.
