Did you obtain it yet? I heard today, if you qualify with legs (45 legs or so), that would not count. This was advised by SAS-agent. This would read in terms and conditions. Does anyone have confirmed statement or knowledge, both or only 45k miles annually would be counted? I cannot find any printed info of this....

I think they were more vague than that, right? - I seem to remember that they said they would roll out in autumn or "second half of 2018" or something similarly vague.

They probably were more vague than I remember. Something like "we will roll it out in second half" with no indication as to second half of what....

(and before somebody reminds me that it is now 2018, 2017 was the initial year they claimed to want to launch LTG)

There was the announcement, that hinted at second half 2017, and there was even some info on the website. The info did get removed again though. Then there was a semi announcement spring 2018, which I think was never made by SK directly, but a few select lucky people did receive a letter with the status.

I can confirm that a letter did go out to a select few though, myself being one

Speaking of theme, I rang SAS hotline and it connected me to Estonian call centere where I asked about how many Gold years I have counting for Lifetime. They said I have 7. I asked if those years have to be consecutive years to count for LTG and how many then I would have, and they answered yes it has to be consecutive gold years and I have 7 of those. I know I have about 10 years of being Gold but not consecutive years, and I had a pause some 4-5 years ago so I am 100% sure I don't have 7 consecutive years of Gold. Confusing me and I wonder if I can trust the call center at all. Maybe I have to double check with a Swedish hotline. Go figure.

Based on my interactions, it is 10 years consecutive.

Well, that makes you still LTG at the age of 60. So no need to credit anything to EB anymore if you can wait.

patience is not my virtue and I want to stay young forever Well I can probably tweak TK Gold along the way or cherrypick status matches until then
Anyway, I shot an email to SAS Sweden now, wait and see the answer
