I won't get a code this year since I only reached 75k via EQM bonuses from last fall but this is sort of making me happy I won't need to scramble to find C space between now and 12/31. It was hard enough to use mine last year but I was able to since I found C space for Q1 of this year - mine would have gone to waste if I had to travel by 12/31.

At this point, these will now go un-used for me 2 years in a row.

I thought the late-starting lounge membership perk for 100Ks that I chose should have been good for 12 months rather than to the end of 2023 but said nothing.

IMHO this is worse, for the reasons already mentioned.

I “assumed” in 23 these would come quicker and I guess it did compared to last year, but we really need these right at the beginning of the year, or before if they are to be put to any real overseas use.

All you have to do is scroll up in this very thread to read various complaints with this benefit. I personally was appreciative of this perk, and will be sad when it is discontinued next year…
