Lifetime status
Loyaltylobby recently wrote about MH restoring arrival access to Plats. Apparently this includes lifetime Plats who get +2 guests instead of the usual +1. Does anyone know the criteria for lifetime platinum? SQ has lifetime PPS but it’s no longer open to new members, guessing it’s the same for MH?

There is none. My guess is that it's new as previously the 'secret' tier was called 'Platinum Plus' which you can see referred to very occasionally in things like the in-flight-magazine or even the old head of Enrich Programs LinkedIn bio. I've not seen reference to Lifetime Platinum before, even accidently, prior to this occasion.

From what I’ve read, there’s multiple flavors of Platinum.
Standard Platinum
Nominated Platinum
Honorary Platinum
Lifetime Platinum
Platinum Plus
-formerly 130K miles entirely on MH J/F
Govt of Malaysia Platinum
-previously benefited from reduced elite thresholds
Corporate Platinum
-Based on sales relationship with MH
The latter two also has Silver and Gold equivalents. I’m guessing honorary and lifetime are probably discretionary based on influence, so likely high ranking govt officials, royal family, VIPs, etc.
