Danish term or phrase: pluskunde
I'm trying to rack my brain to come up with a suitable translation for "pluskunde" (as opposed to "almindelig kunde". The idea is that the type of customer is one who enjoys certain benefits through purchasing a certain level of services every month. I thought of Gold Customer, but not sure about that. I would appreciate any suggestions.

The sentence, by the way, is a headline in a newsletter for distributors - "XX nye pluskunder i juni".

Thanks in advance.

gold (star) customer


Explanation:
I think gold customer is fine - however, you may refine it by adding the little word star - This little extra word would, however, not be meaningful unless stars are actually awarded, I guess.

Example sentence(s):
  • The benefits of becoming a Roeder Outdoor Power Gold Star Customer are countless
