I only fly twice a year and by no means wish to become Gold as it is simply impossible.
First I thought this was a some spam message, but when I logged in my account it showed that I am literally a gold...!
Is this possible or SQ is having some fun of me...

I would have accepted it and thanked my lucky stars

Thank your lucky stars and go buy a lottery ticket. Or hit the casino

What's next? Random accounts being upgraded to QPP?

Well if that's the case please let my account that receives the random to Qpp

I actually bought a lottery ticket for this coming Saturday a couple days ago. So this is my prize before the draw...?

What's next? Random accounts being upgraded to QPP?

I thought this was rather bizarre. Just wondering if this kind of thing has ever happened to any of you before

Or maybe this thread should be merged with "The Useless New Website Launched May 2011" one

Please do so as I was wondering if this is part of it or something else

Just out of curiosity did the OP check his activity statement?

Someone may have been crediting miles to your KF number instead of their own, inadvertently..

Enjoy it whilst you can sushiinSYD

Yes I have. There is no mysterious miles crediting.

The funny thing is that my member duration has been altered from Jan to Jun, and all elite miles have been reset to zero while PPS value remains intact.

The downside is that 27,000 elite miles have been wiped out, which I was happy with re-qualifying as silver for the next year.
Hope SQ do soft landing...

Anyway, I will try to find out the way how to enjoy this once in a life time benefit given... Thank you, Gunnar Smithsen

why didnt you call SQ to ask about this anormaly ??

[sushiinSYD]

Well, I thought about it for a moment. Maybe I thought too much: it could be another glitch of their software issue, could be some marketing to cultivate new potential loyalty, and so on. Nothing made me any sense. For instance, if SQ needs more profit, then SQ should concentrate on the fact how SQ could make existing loyal members happy rather than to go hunting new potential members, etc.

And for sure that this could not have happened to me only, so I was just curious to know if any of you would not mind sharing the same.

Also, what answer should I expect from the customer service representatives?

[SilverChris]

Don't know about you, but when I come across a mistake fare, I probably won't call the airline to check if the fare is right.
