I know some others on here availed of the Finnair offer backend of 2021 where you could buy points and also status equivalent to BA Gold (AY Platinum). It worked very well for me, as they extended the Plat status which should have expired end Jan 23 until Jan 24, meaning T5 First wing check in benefits for several years as well as no seat selection charges etc. !
I was then AY Gold (BA Silver level) until end of this month, when I was anticipating that I’d drop to equivalent of Bronze. However, my card in the app now says Gold status expires Jan 2026! Has anyone else experienced this stealth AY status extension? I can find no mention of it online.
Would normally have been very happy to learn of this unexpected windfall but I already splashed the $199 on Gold Sparrow match the other week, in anticipation of dropping to measly bronze equivalent 😆
