Conclusion
TAP is up for sale and will likely end up with one of the European airline conglomerates of Air France KLM, Lufthansa Group, or IAG (British Airways, Iberia, Aer Lingus & Vueling), and when that happens, the Miles&Go program is the first to go.
The lifetime requirements of 2 or 3 million miles earned from TAP flights are very high, and none of the miles earned when flying on partner airlines count.
Terms and conditions of the lifetime status:
Gold For Life and Navigator For Life statuses have the same benefits as TAP Miles&Go Gold and Navigator status, respectively, with the difference that they are granted for life.
Status Miles earned on TAP flights are counted from the date of joining the TAP Miles&Go Program, and all miles accumulated from the year 1998 are taken into account. These Status Miles are referred to as “Miles For Life”.
Status Miles earned on flights with other Airlines, including Star Alliance Airlines, do not contribute towards For Life status.
Once the necessary conditions are met, the For Life status ( Gold or Navigator ) is automatically updated in the Customer Account.
For Life status remains in effect for as long as the TAP Miles&Go Account stays active. Accounts become inactive after 36 months without any mileage earning activity , and some benefits may be limited. When activity resumes, benefits will be fully restored.
A physical card with the For Life image and a digital card , with the regular TAP Miles&Go Gold or Navigator image, corresponding to the status, will be made available.
TAP reserves the right to, at any time, change the conditions for granting For Life status. However, Customers who have already obtained the status will not be affected . The new conditions will apply to future attributions only.
TAP also reserves the right to, at any time, change the benefits of the For Life status, with the applicable benefits being updated on the respective page.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are Miles For Life?
Miles For Life correspond to the Status Miles accumulated by the Customer since joining the TAP Miles&Go Program. They differ from regular Status Miles, which have validity limited to the annual qualification period.
Do all miles count towards For Life status qualification?
No, only the Status Miles earned on TAP flights, counted since the year of 1998 and from the date of Customer subscription to the TAP Miles&Go Program.
I have met the conditions for Gold or Navigator For Life. When is the qualification change made?

I am Gold For Life. Can I get (regular) Navigator status?
