"Buy 9 and get the 10th free at Supercuts". Went for my free one yesterday and you guessed it, they've scrapped the scheme.
Congrats to the OP. Now onwards to Lifetime GGL!

Ha good one. Someone told me they are going to take out the closet at the front of Club Europe and put in an extra row of seats so leg room might just get closer (although I realize one can be done without the other so I live in hope).

Since 117 years old is attainable, and therefore nearly 4 decades of BAEC Gold and tier point running lies ahead of you, I don't see the problem? You just need to up the ante a bit.

Keep in mind your lifetime status is only valid for the life of the program and not your lifetime, so what if Cruz decides to Cruzify the GfL prgram…
