My SQ Gold expires this month. I have a bunch of Star Alliance flying in June so it would be nice to use some of the lounges along the way.
Has any had experience of asking SQ to extend Gold privileges for a few months? I know they're notoriously stingy but I thought I'd ask the brains trust before picking up the phone and being at my most polite...
Not a chance. If you haven't met the requirements then they aren't going to throw free perks your way.
You'd have more of an upper foot if they were SQ operated flights (in higher cabins) but as you've said "Star Alliance flying" I'm guessing it's a mixture of different airlines.
Thanks guys, I thought as much. FWIW, I do agree they're just enforcing the rules. But, as we know, other airlines are known, on occasion, to show some grace (even if it is for commercial reasons).

They're not 'stingy' as you call them, they just enforce the rules.
