By no means a record as it has taken 27 years but landed back at LHR on Tuesday and crossed that magical 100K Tier point line. Be good now never to have to worry about making that 3K per year to retain status. Hope to get my CCR card so can access next week. If I show the accounts page on my mobile would that also work does anyone know?

Congratulations Scallops!
Having achieved GfL, I am wondering if GGLfL is achievable for me.
Time, health and wealth will tell.

Yes, it does. TPs and Avios are earned as usual but GGL/CCR status is lifetime irrespective of how many TPs are earned each year.

In that case, then at least UA LT 1K/GS seems a little better in terms of getting GPUs/RPUs every year and you can use them on NH/LH.
Once I get to 2MM LT PLT AA, I may try to go for LT GLD in BA. Well, maybe it's going to be difficult to justify.

Wow! Still a huge achievement for OP and others who are LT GGLers, but with that much of flying, I hope it will be at least a little better than Concorde Room at any fare and LT OneWorld Emerald Status. Seriously? I'm I thought at least they would give Jokers or GUFs at LT GGLers even when they don't fly.

As a Lifetime GGL you are higher up the food chain and OpUps are therefore far more likely. There are other discretionary perks too, very welcome when they arrive.
