I was just wondering if extensions of the Platinum status due to Corona and lack of travel opportunities would actually count towards the years needed for PFL. In fact, I believe that so far everything has counted toward PFL because FB simply added to our accounts the XPs that were missing in order to help us qualify. There was no extension as such, just a huge amount of help with receiving the missing XPs to requalify, receiving the same surplus XPs as we possessed one year previously at the start of the new XP year, and being offered double XPs on all flights until 31st December 2020. It was a huge amount of help, and it all counted towards PFL membership.
Now, if they change the game this year and simply just extend the status, I reckon that it's not going to count as part of the 10 years needed for PFL. Personally, I hope they do it the way they did it this year, but I have a feeling it will work differently this time.
