Mrs. QRC is already GO, and it will expire Dec 31 this year. Depending on the answers to #2 above, there seems like there could be some strategy in which one and when you tag your Gold nominees. Especially if the mid-tier benefit GO and DME GO have different terms.
My understanding after reading
https://www.cathaypacific.com/cx/en_...companion.html is that you will have 12 months to issue that GO (so if you cross in 1800 points in JUN2026, you will have until JUN2027 to issue). Since the complimentary GO companion is only valid for the remainder of the year it was issued, if Mrs. QRC will no longer be GO on 01JAN2027, you can gift her the GO status then, and it will be valid until 31JAN2028? I'm not 100% sure, either, but that's what I think the page means.
