Also I believe the Clipper Club had lifetime memberships that were transferred over to the Crown Rooom membership as a DL agent once told me there are a few (not many)Crown Room members with lifetime...</font>
I'm one of the lifetime members (Clipper --> Crown Room) but for the last 3+ years Delta has been sending me Crown Room Membership cards with annual expiration dates instead of "Lifetime". So I'm hanging on to the old cards with Lifetime imprinted.
Pan Am even gave miles for
NOT flying during certain peak periods
. My two kids who were under two years of age even collected miles on their 10% fare tickets and then on their 50% fares when they were between two years old until 12. We did annual trips overseas in Business Class every year and all four of us (wife and two kids) were Platinum members. Eventually Pan Am closed this loophole on collecting miles for minors on the 10% and 50% fares.
I'm still hanging on to several Pan Am amenity kits. May become valuable collectors items later on
.
We each collected nearly 200,000 miles apiece of Pan Am which we transferred to Delta.
