So my questions:
1. Do I get a Platinum for life card in April 2020 or will it be a regular platinum card and in 2021 that I get a Platinum for life card?
2. Does my boarding pass state now platinum for life or still regular platinum?
3. Does Platinum for life get any soft benefits over regular platinum customers, eg. zone 1 boarding instead of 2?
4. I heard there is a special Platinum for life event for residents in the Netherlands? Are there such events for other people in other countries?

Thanks,

1- I would say the latter
2- no, just Platinum on the BP. But the crew on their cabin pad have the information about for Life
3- no soft benefits compared to regular Platinum. Boarding zone is still 2 if you fly Y.
4- those events are infrequent. They do not even happen in France. Do not count on it.
