Lifetime status will be aspirational for most.
Always reminds me of helping my great aunt renew her household insurance. The young sounding call centre agent asked her if she like to put her new policy on auto renewal direct debit. Her response was ‘don’t be silly, I’m 95!’

To this day, we still cannot believe he came out with such a comment.

Then the additional benefits of partner cards, GUFs, etc. all add weight to the benefit of status. So for me, that's why it means so much...
Plus I get shiny bag tags.

Another status extension for BA Executive Club members
Looks like BA is extending status for another 12 months for those with membership year ending January - March 2022!
And it looks like they're getting rid of the Concorde Room Card:
According to Turning Left For Less.
British Airways is further protecting the Tier status of Executive Club Members. From Monday 20 September, any Executive Club Members with a Tier Point collection end date between January – March 2022 will receive another year of their current status.
Meanwhile, the exclusive Concorde Room which is situated in Heathrow Terminal 5 and New York JFK only, will now be accessible to all Gold Guest List Members, regardless of how many Tier Points they earned in their previous Tier Point collection year.

But those of us whose membership year has already reset on 8 September 2021 and those who will reset in October, November and December don’t receive the benefit of a further year and all whilst long haul to virtually anywhere unless you are a DYKWIA is impossible ☹️.

In a couple of hours, I am predicting that some CCR cardholders would be mad at the situation stating that CCR would be overcrowded because people who earn 2250TP's per year could be able to access it.
