Nice thread
I leave aside the disappointment for the way this was handled by the company in terms of (lack of) communication and for the fact that GGLfl is now half a million pounds away rather than 4-5 years away and I state what might be a positive
-As GFL, I will still have access to significant benefits, especially coveted on other OW carriers
-As someone who did average 8-9k TP for family and leisure travel, frequently booking at 15 day window in F or J, requalifying for GGL should not be impossible
-Maybe the Gold and GGL benefits, less diluted, will become more perceivable-maybe
-Once I renew GGL, I will not have such a strong motivation for TP accumulation with a view to GGLFl, and I will happily enjoy my fave F products (AF, EK) and will distribute my funds more evenly across alliances, re-qualifying for their top tiers with less time effort
-having said that, I still don’t know where to put my spend on the bi-monthly transcon US flights as the 210TP with AA F will vanish soon
