VIP appears to be a published level now?
I noticed the following line under "My Activity" when using the new site
"You need xxx rentals Or xxx Rental days to achieve EC Executive VIP Status"
Based on my calculation (lifetime rental days + number above), a total of 1169 rental days would be needed to archive the VIP level. That's quite an odd number...
Anyone else willing to share what you see?

Looks to me like it's yet another bug on the new site. The total seem to add up to 999 for both days and rentals when combined with the current year totals I have, which I find to be a suspicious number. I'm guessing someone threw in a placeholder for something in there, and screwed up and made it visible. Late last year I needed a negative number of days to make EE.

I'm actually thinking whether those number requirement are lifetime but then again it would be a fairly low bar to reach. Probably makes more sense for Lifetime Executive Elite. I could definitive see that and the coders confused the new Lifetime status with the current "VIP" status

Take your current year numbers and add them to what it's showing, do you get 999? (It does for both me and my wife). I honestly think it's some placeholder number put in (I'd be shocked if a level for something legit would end up being 999 and not 1000.)

I saw this myself on the "My Activity" page and was curious, so I came here. This is what it says on mine: "You need 991 rentals Or 982 Rental days to achieve EC Executive VIP Status."
Definitely a bug of the new site I'd think.
