3. If Plat is the minimum for lounge access, it makes sense...15 nights is a down payment on 50, but a lot of BiB is still needed
Whats interesting to me as a LT Gold & if B/F is limited to Plat and above...
MR Lifetime Gold was based on a 50 night qualification
So current LTG's have all qualified on this 50 night limit
Yes it includes the gimmicks like roll over nights, CC nights etc but none the less that applied to the current Plat level as well.
So as a LTG I do feel a bit shortchanged "IF" that is the current free BF threshold. OTOH, I don't need that many more points for LTP either. So once I get there, I don't mind throwing the rest of the LTG's under the bus
