Now they have 3 levels (blue, silver, gold) Blue is general thus here is silver and gold qualifications.

To qualify initially for Silver membership, you will need 1,000 loyalty points. If you want to retain your membership for subsequent years you will need only 700 per annum.

To qualify initially for Gold membership you will need 2,500 loyalty points. If you want to retain your membership for subsequent years you will need only 1,750 each year.

Now the trick, that is not stated anywhere, is how long is status good for? Well the CSR told me as a silver you lose 150 loyalty points every 6 months if you don't add to your total. As a gold you lose 150 lp's every 3 months if you don't fly. Thus you have to maintain I believe a balance of lp's for your level or you drop.

Once you attain silver you need to maintain 700 I think to keep it.

Once you attain gold you need 1750 I think to keep it.

Thus your status can last for several years without even flying.

Anyone have anything else to add or see any problems?
