Earning Status for life

It's our way of thanking you for your loyalty over the years.

While your Status Credits reset at the start of each new Membership Year, we keep a record of all the Status Credits you've earned since joining the program. Earn enough Status Credits and Silver, Gold or Platinum membership will be yours for life, regardless of how often you then fly.
