2 Clubhouse Passes for Reaching 1500 TP

I recently surpassed 1500 TPs (60 TPs on the old scheme). Per Flying Clubs T&C's, doing so enables the member to receive two complementary Clubhouse passes to use with friends and family who would otherwise be unable to use the CH.

Here's my dilemma: as a Gold member, I have no use for them myself. I literally never travel anywhere where there's a CH with more than one companion, who I can guest in for free without a voucher.

Any ideas on how to use these?  Almost anyone I know who flies VS is Gold (or flies Upper), so my gifting options are somewhat limited. 

One thought -- correct me if I'm wrong. The Revivals Lounge does NOT allow a Gold guest who is not flying in UC.  (Is this right?)  If, for instance, I was traveling UC from JFK and a colleague was traveling PE from JFK on the same flight as me (or even a different one, say from IAD), could I use one for the colleague to get him into revivals?

Note: I'm not looking to sell them; I'm curious as to what Golds do when they receive two complementary Clubhouse passes that are virtually useless to them.

my understanding is that they can't be used for revivals but I could be very wrong about that.

I have four passes in my house (long story), but I believe they can be used for Revivals. I can double check when I am at home.

If I have no use for them I usually just give them to friends.

I thought I'd possibly be wrong! Thanks. Every day is a school day :)

Not to dis your very superb knowledge Slimpy, but I think it would be totally bizarre if the CH passes included revivals considering Golds cannot guest in.... but maybe it is a thing. Would love to know too...

Absolutely they can be used for Revivals. This may be new?

But both the "thanks for your loyalty" letter AND the cards themselves include Revivals on list of redeemable places.
