Does anyone know if YYZ will be allowing International Pax to use the D security (and thus access to the Domestic lounge) going forward is this just a COVID thing?

2 Maple Leaf Lounge passes as select benefit for 25k
Hello,
I gifted my 2 guest passes to a friend over 2 months ago (and he used them) but my account still shows 2 passes available.
Is it possible they were not removed from the account correctly or are just showing up on my end but cannot be used?
As it’s the first year of the new system I think that either one of these could be possible!
Thank you,
Paul.

Hi everyone, recently completed the status challenge. Had an awesome time in YVR!
Was wondering if the Maple Leaf Lounge passes i got (35k) will have an extended expiry date (Currently end of year) given that I recently completed the status match or will i be issued a new set? I wanted to know since I have no use for them but I wanted to know if I should give them out ASAP or if I have up until next year to see who would best utilise them?
Thank you!

I have 3 passes that I promised to my niece as she is taking her 2 boys skiing in Banff. I thought she was going between Xmas and New Year, but just found out she is leaving on Jan 2. 
Is there any chance that these passes will be honored beyond Dec 31? I'm guessing that no extensions have been offered based on the number of people giving theirs away!
Merry Christmas all!

They haven't been in the past, not sure why they'd start now.

So here were are, end of 2021 and the use of this year's digital MLL passes.
I found weirdness on my pass page in my Benefits so following up here.
On page 1 of this thread, these comments were posted and various replies were offered in the thread.
Not exactly.
I had given 1 pass to a friend earlier this year. I saved the downloaded PDF to a folder but other than it being the first one of the 4 available, I had no other info as I can't read the QR code on the pass.
Recently, I gifted other passes and each time I went back to the page, it still showed 4 as available. I have the PDFs I sent so I know I gifted 2 more.
Today I checked my MLL Pass page now and I see this.
Hmmmm.
I know I gave away 3 in total. Only 1 is showing as used. So, does that mean the 2 people I gave the passes to never used them?
Also, since there is no identifying info on this page and only the QR codes on the passes themselves, how is anyone supposed to know which ones they gave away without any obvious identifiers...... for the majority of us who do not have the ability to read the QR codes.

There are apps that read Aztec codes, the Android one I like is this one because it doesn't have an INTERNET permission https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...hl=en_CA&gl=US
If you don't want to scan them to see their identifier, just download them carefully at the beginning of the year, I guess? What I did with my 25K and 75K profiles was download all five passes, rename them something different, and then keep track to which person I gave them to. Renamed them to the friends I'd give... mll_marcus1.pdf, mll_marcus2.pdf, mll_joey1.pdf
and THEN we encounter the problem where not all passes are used (my data points are: 1/3 passes at YVR TB are deleted, 1/4 passes at YVR Dom are deleted, 1/1 YYZ Dom, 1/1 YUL Dom), so I just say "Hey Joey, before you use your .pdf, can you try marcus2?"
