I understand that it might be worth a lot with the possibility of lifetime gold, but unless your miles are otherwise going to expire, it's a very high price to maintain gold. Do you have the possibility to do a MR?

Thanks. As stupid as it may sound the main objektive for reaching gold one final time is the life time gold possibility (Im in my early 40ies) even if looks more and like this perk (LTG after 10 consequtive years regardless of age) will not be introduced.

As far as I can see if it’s only possible to buy (not convert) basic points and only when you are 15.000 left of achieving gold. Currently I can only buy extra points. Am I missing something?

I live temporarely in Amman. Expensive and time consuming to do a MR from here connecting to SK. AMM is served by LH, OS, MS and possibly also UA. Maybe that could be an option.
