About your upgrade
How long will it take to receive my Gold status?
After your purchase, your status upgrade will begin processing within one business day. We'll send you an email confirmation when processing begins.
Your account will be upgraded within 5-7 business days of purchase.
How long will my Gold status be valid for?
Your status is valid for 1 year from the date on which it is processed on your account.
After 1 year, can I renew my status?
Yes. Your Gold status can be renewed on your existing account after it expires.
Am I guaranteed to receive all the posted benefits on every
flight?
That depends! For perks that rely on space being available on the plane, like first class upgrades, you’ll receive the upgrade if complimentary upgrade seats are available to status-holders.
You’ll always receive other perks, like free checked bags and lounge access, as long as you hold status.
Do you need my password to process my status?
No. Your password is not required to process your Gold status.
Where does my status upgrade come from?
Please see our frequently asked questions page for more information.
What do I need to do to receive my status?
After submitting your account information, you're done! Your purchase includes a direct upgrade to Gold status on your Flying Blue account.
Completing a minimum number of flight miles or segments, meeting a minimum spend, or meeting any other challenge to receive the upgrade is not required.
