Question Club Eurostar Extension to Membership Year?

Any news on whether Club Eurostar will extend the Membership Year? I'm 9 points away (£9!) from renewing my Carte Blanche. I have until mid-July, but since UK citizens are no longer allowed to travel to France unless they are residents, I may have trouble getting even that small number of points.

I did what I probably should have done in the first place and emailed Eurostar. They told me that any Carte Blanche holders whose status was due to expire between 1 May 2020 and the 31 July 2020 members who had between 1800 - 2399 status points on their account automatically requalifies for Carte Blanche.

Club E* just sent me a mail - they're extending the membership year by 5 months.



We’re extending your membership year by five months as you’re unlikely to have had the opportunity to travel with us much recently.


This will give you more time to earn the points you need to stay in your tier or to move up. Simply login to your Eurostar account to see your new end-date

You also need to pay a £16 fee to redeem each one-way trip on points now.

another extension for carte blanche

for another 5 months..

"We’re extending your membership year
With new lockdown measures and stricter travel restrictions in place in our destination countries, we’ve decided to extend your membership year by another five months as you’re unlikely to have travelled with us much recently. This will give you more time to earn the points you need to stay in your current club level or move up to a new one."

So 10 months in total.
