Hi drewguy, as a part of our program announcement today, we have extended PlusPoints expiring on/after January 1, 2021 another 6 months, and that would include PlusPoints that have a current expiration of 7/31/21. Therefore, those will be extended and will expire at the end of January 2022. Please allow for up to December 15, 2021 for us to make this extension.

Gold: 6,000 PQP and 16 PQF, or 7,000 PQP
Platinum: 9,000 PQP and 24 PQF, or 10,000 PQP
1K: 13,500 PQP and 36 PQF, or 15,000 PQP

You get a bonus based on your status level at the end of 2020:
Silver: 875 PQP
Gold: 1,750 PQP
Platinum: 2,500 PQP
1K/Global Services: 3,750 PQP


Then you will get double PQP (up to 1500PQP) on your first three flights of 2021.

Might be good to stick a summary in the wiki.


Also, extending PP expiring Jan/2021 by 6mo. I thought this was already done. Do they mean expiring 2022?


Overall, the requirements are about the same as the current ones depending how much you fly for your first 3 flights. I'll prob end the year with about 10K spend. However, prices have dropped alot in the last half of the year, so it will be difficult for me to meet that spend next year. I am sitting on a mountain of PP so if things open up more and I can do more intl flying, then maybe I will reach the spend.
Hi eng3, correct, those are the requirements for earning status in 2022. You will also receive a PQP deposit based on your 2021 status level at the end of 2020, and you will get a PQP bonus of 100% on each of your first three PQP-eligible trips taken between January 1, 2021 and March 31, 2021. You’re right, we already did extend PlusPoints once when we announced changes to our program in April of 2020. We’re extending PlusPoints expiring on/after January 1, 2021 once again – so if you have any PlusPoints expiring after that date, expect them to be extended 6 months and we’ll do so no later than December 15, 2020.
