I wonder if the offer to extend by cash is limited to certain members only? I did receive an email about not meeting the criteria to renew SEN but I didn't come with the cash option. Is it worth contacting them asking for the cash offer? This is how the email I got looks:
Wherever your travels may have taken you this year, we hope you’ve enjoyed flying with Lufthansa Group airlines.
To enable us to continue to welcome you as a Senator, please be aware that unfortunately, as of 29.10.2025, you haven’t accrued enough Points and Qualifying Points to renew your status.
Another way to earn additional Points and Qualifying Points is to choose a carbon-offsetting package. You’ll get up to 80% more Points and Qualifying Points for your flights – and for past flights, too.
If you achieve the required 2,000 Points and 1,000 Qualifying Points by 31.12.2025, your status will automatically be renewed until the end of February 2027.
If you’re unable to renew your Senator status this year, it will expire on 28.2.2026. You’ll then be awarded Frequent Traveller status.
We look forward to continuing to welcome you on board, and hope to see you again soon.
