[somebol]

I was also matched to platinum and have no past or future Etihad flights

Seems like Velocity Platinums are receiving Etihad Platinum? Great deal!

 

[Happy Dude]

When I applied it had a graphic that said something like "your Velocity status (Platinum) -------> your EY Guest status (Gold)".

Was that the same for those that've been matched to WP? @Mickeyc747, @somebol , @dandandan? Hoping to be pleasantly surprised too.

Yes that’s what mine said but came back as Platinum. Took less than 24 hours.

Do you know how long you get to keep platinum for? What was the expiry date?

Got it till 31/5/25.

However the email doesn’t mention anything about how to extend the status beyond the initial expiry

One return journey on EY to extend it by 12 more months

Maybe a short distance return flight from somewhere like CAI or elsewhere in the ME.

Yep. Even just a short little jaunt around the ME is fine
