Thank you for the update.

Maybe correct, but mainly sad. Having taken advantage of BA match 1-2 years ago and the RJ match a month or 2 ago, I fully appreciated and made excellent use of the matches which saved me many $$$ in lounge access and/or membership fees.

Another lesson from the FF (nutjob, myself most definitely proudly included) lecture “Strike While the Iron is Hot”*.

(* “’Strike while the iron is hot’ means to take action or make a decision immediately while the opportunity is favorable. The idiom advises against hesitation, encouraging you to act quickly before a good chance disappears. It originates from blacksmithing, where a blacksmith must hammer iron when it is hot and malleable, as it becomes difficult to shape once it cools.”)
