Status Holiday

Hi everyone,

I was just wondering if MPC still offers the option of Status Holidays/Temporary Freeze?

I was thinking of mostly flying *A to achieve *A Gold next year instead of flying OW, but would love to keep my MPC status in case *A doesn't turn out to be very good...

cheers

It’s still listed as a benefit on the website.

Silly question..

Say my membership year is from 01jan to 31dec.
Can i say use the benefits for say 10 months, then call in for this membership holiday thing for the last 2 months. When the new year starts, i maintain my original status.

is the above correct?

I think no.
Per T&C:

19g. A new membership card (with new expiry date) will be issued after Membership Holiday period, while mid-tier benefits before their expiration date can still be claimed.
So in that case, your status shall just expire by around 28feb next year.

My reading is that you will get your original status back on 1 January but for only 2 months.
