I tried searching for a thread but failed to find anything.
I am trying to work out whether to family pool miles and SC to get Gold for my partner or whether i should aim for companion gold. So far all i can gauge is that if i family pool it will only take 400 sc to renew her gold rather than the current 500 sc it takes (going forward) and the only reason i`d go for companion gold would be if they came out with lifetime status then i`d want all the SC as possible on my own account rather than being transferred. I guess the same would go for her getting Platinum too and if i did just transfer miles and sc then i could transfer the miles back to me if needed.
If this is all true then what seriously is the point of the companion gold or platinum? Fake benefit? There has to be something i`m missing here .
Thoughts?
