I assume it would be some time between July 2025 and January 2026. Can anyone clarify what would be then the validity of given premium card? Would the validity be as long as 12/27 or eveb 01/28? Executive status does not soft land to Premium right? I know there were multiple free extensions throughout past years but assume this policy might change under LHG....
...might change?

Apart from that I don't think I really understood your question.
I gifted Premium to my mother in late October 24 and the status is valid until 01/26. So, when you gift Premium, the status lasts for the remaining of the recipient current year +1.
