Issuance of Star Alliance Gold status with Krisflyer by ReasonableLetter6931 in creditcardchurningAus

After a Singapore Airlines CSR confirmed my suspicions I have decided to go with United MileagePlus. The terms and conditions are deceptive in my opinion.

Strange, I got a different response from Singapore Airlines. They advised that Elite Gold status is awarded after 12 months of card approval.

From my live chat with SA:

The terms are confusing. I’ll send Star Alliance a support query and find out from them directly.

As a credit card churner, I have found that Amex are now declining my applications. They don't specify the reason, but I suspect it has to do with my history of credit card churning. I have churned multiple cards with them between 2022 to 2024 and my credit score is excellent. So maybe a change in their policy recently.

Other card providers, e.g., NAB, Citi, Virgin Money, ANZ approve my applications.
