Continental - Elite

It's pretty nice - shorter lines, easier boarding, been bumped to first class, etc.

Is there any way that anyone knows of to get lifetime SPG platinum or do all of Starwood's status levels have to be re-earned each year?

Dan, you are just teasing us unless you can share some of your "secrets".  Can you give a run through on how you achieve most of those? Spending? Status match, etc?

Thanks,

Doesn't exist AFAIK.
Hyatt has lifetime Diamond and it's nearly impossible: 10 years as a diamond and $200,000 in spending credited to Hyatt points.  If you credit to miles it doesn't count.

I've seen reports that you don't need 10 years as a diamond, but $200k is hard enough

 theres a BIG difference in the way a person got the Status. eg I could earn it and then go get Comped everywhere else, well thats good for 1 time usually (I know all about joining up again and change a few things ) so a person can then post that they have all these Elite Level and others will think they actually know what they are talking about

 where as someone who earned it the hard will most likely but not 100% know more about what they are posting about

 wallet candy is easy to get but whats the use of having it unless you will be in a position to actually be able to benefit from it

steve2, please post all of your wallet candy. I am not interested in statuses you've earned by actually staying/flying, rather I would love to hear about EVERYTHING you have access to. Because that is what we here at DDF care about.

After all they don't have separate lists for people who did dozens of Mileage/Mattress runs or who got it via a match, or who got it via an online offer.
You still go into the same CO EUA/UA UDU queue and get upgraded into the same F seat or Suite regardless of how hard you worked to earn the status.

I have quite a few cards or wallet candys. The one I use most and was the hardest to get, a sixt diamond card. I dont think somebody else on this forum has it. Its Sixt highest status and they really treat you like a king. I rented a ford focus in Zrh and got a mercedes SLK on my last rental. Cant complain!
