I purchased a lifetime Ionosphere Club membership from Eastern Airlines. When EA filed bankruptcy their sister company Continental Airlines sent a letter stating that my EA membership would not be converted to Presidents Club because of the date of my purchase. I replied, submitting evidence that their records were inaccurate. I received no reply, and I did not really care because CO's presence in Miami evaporated.
A decade later I discovered that I have a lifetime Presidents Club membership, which I used for awhile to enter Delta Crown Rooms. Now it is a United Club membership, which I have used twice because UA's presence here is still small. No club at MIA or TPA, though I see there are now clubs at FLL and MCO.
