Could you clarify how this works? I was GM during 2007 and was pleasantly surprised to be granted PM in January 2008 despite being short the required MQMs, but I assumed it was similar to the other reports here on FT of people being granted the next tier despite falling short.
My husband should reach GM during the year. Would he automatically be granted PM once he reaches it (eg. mid-year), because of being a European GM member, or would that benefit not be granted until January 2009 after he closes the year as GM?
