SK gives lifetime gold after 10 years of holding gold status
No, crazy is when a multi-year HON member receives the lifetime FTL card on his/her mailbox. Lifetime membership either FTL or SEN is a courtesy privilege and for sure a motivation for some. SK lifetime Gold membership does not give 2 upgrade vouchers per year nor access to contract lounges. That is why you can schieve it about 15000€ by flying 45 SK segments per year.
