Lifetime Status?
I'm curious to see how many people would value lifetime status from EK? For example with 2 of my other airline loyalty programs (QF and UA), both have Lifetime Recognition (in QF's case, its based on Status Credits - ie similar to tier miles) and in UA's case, it's based on BIS (butt-in-seat miles on UA metal).
If you earn 14,000 status credits with QF, you earn Lifetime Gold (which for me is excellent, because it provides lounge access globally, priority check-in, increased baggage allowance etc etc). With UA, if you fly 1M BIS miles, while the benefits have been somewhat diluted, there are still things I like (for example, your spouse sharing the same status as you) and *A Gold for life
I know many people on this board have been flying EK for many years, and have racked up plenty of tier miles. Should EK recognise you in some way (or provide some sort of benefit, either one-time or recurring) for achieving 1M tier miles? Or should there be some other metric/measurement?
