El Al Will Give You Lifetime Gold Status — If They Don’t Think You’ll Use it Much

El Al has introduced lifetime gold status.

  • You have to have been a Gold elite member or higher for each of the past ten years.
  • And you must currently be at least 67 years old

Lifetime status is for use primarily in retirement years, it would seem. And oddly 20-year Top Platinum who skips a year in the 10 years leading up to their 67th birthday is ineligible.

In other news, I hear they’re considering awarding Top Platinum status posthumously.
