Can you find where it states LTPP gets PPE benefits? There is an assumption but nothing actually written. Benefits are not granted by assumption, they are granted by the written terms. The links on my account agree with what is written, not with the assumption. Maybe the links will change, but my immediate assumption that the links were wrong might not be correct; we may only be getting Plat benefits.

The point of the status was always to not give MR LTP the same status as MR LTG. The facts SPG members were not originally included and the lack of statement on the marketing materials that LTPP would get PP benefits despite clear statements for the other levels were pretty big clues.
