I am dreading the days when I will no longer be Elite Gold but I honestly think it's fair not to give lifelong gold due to monetary reasons. Anyway, flying SQ always gives good service and food, not to mention more destinations around the world from Singapore. I will definitely consider your idea in the future, thank you for sharing!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-23535986294283806522015-11-25T12:23:35.662+08:002015-11-25T12:23:35.662+08:00KrisFlyer Elite Gold - well I have achieved that f...KrisFlyer Elite Gold - well I have achieved that for 14 years. However Singapore Airlines really does not value you that at all. In comparison with other 'reward' programs it is just about the worst there is. If I had been a member with Milagage plus I would now have lifelong gold. With Qantas -life long gold too. Many other airlines would also have some form of acknowledgement of loyalty and consistency. However SQ really do not care about us, Treat us as exceedingly inferior second class members when you don't fly Business and First - SQ having the most expensive flights in those classes in the world. It is unfortunate that you can get locked into a program that changes its program and benefits and there is nothing you can easliy do about it. I have 100s of 1000s of points that I can never use, as they just do not release many reward flight seats to fly or upgrade. So if you are wanting to get gold benefits, join another Star Alliance member, and fly SQ and get the points - SQ actually give more points to other members of the alliance than they give their own members on their 'cheaper' flightsMoirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05430064580999155071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-26690572117876323582015-06-02T19:49:18.951+08:002015-06-02T19:49:18.951+08:00Hi Rolf,

I hope your company will allow economy premium for you then because once a company gets down to economy, they will never want to upgrade to anything else.<br /><br />You are right, that's why I said... business class is a once in a lifetime indulgence... Thanks for dropping by! :) Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-68985663407647097582015-06-01T16:17:32.906+08:002015-06-01T16:17:32.906+08:00Hi Jes,

Upgrades is also always non-saver which use lots of miles. <br /><br />Biz class is so elusive nowadays for even MNC. Everyone is looking to cut cost! I am definitely not the lucky one to enjoy biz travel. <br /><br />Anyway the economy premium rolling out soon! Look forward to that. <br />Rolf Sueyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10723925075715114650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-43242508162084369232015-05-29T09:59:26.972+08:002015-05-29T09:59:26.972+08:00Hi B,

Of course, employers mostly look at dollars and cents only. <br /><br />Anyway, I am sure you would rather not travel and spend time with your family so you do not want to be in my position, hehe.

Maybe if we have a million dollars, then spending $10k might be easier... who knows...<br /><br />Thanks, I am enjoying but I am not sure if I can get another chance on the business class. At least it makes me less resistant to travelling long distance!Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-72343695192350118202015-05-29T09:48:57.439+08:002015-05-29T09:48:57.439+08:00Hi SMOL,

I remember asking SIA about free upgrade before and they said they don't give it out even with empty seats. I will definitely try the pistachio nuts next time! =P<br /><br />For my own travelling, I am also in cattle class and hostels and saving every penny hehehe. At least we get to travel right?Jeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12519573577327538496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8573620.post-39297389996773563232015-05-28T23:46:04.540+08:002015-05-28T23:46:04.540+08:00Wow wish I am in your position right now ;)

There's so much more that can be done with that kind of money.<br /><br />But I totally understand the spoilt feeling. Experienced it too.

My success rate is 1 out of 5. <br /><br />It's nice to enjoy the free airport lounge though. Love the pistachio nuts!<br /><br />Now? I guess I've adjusted quite well to life as a nobody. Travel in cattle class and hostels... LOL!<br />Singapore Man of Leisurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13774067113884418001noreply@blogger.com
