Apparently I hit Lifetime Au status a year or two back, but only found out from "...as a Lifetime Gold member.." opening line in an email. VS confirmed this was correct in a call to FC.

I still see "you need another X00TPs to retain Gold" on my account page, so what's that about? Is that always there even for LT Gold's, and I can ignore it, or... is there some snafu here?

(seems they don't send you a 'Congratulations!' email anymore. I heard there was something with balloons or...?! Seems strange - an email costs nothing!)

The old Gold pack used to come with a gold balloon in it, which I always thought was a bit tragic. Don't know what lifetime got though.
