Neither of the airlines where I'm already requalified (AA and UA) has yet sent me an email explicitly saying that, but the two airlines where I'm not yet requalified (NW and DL) keep telling me over and over now (on the website and in every email) how many more dines I need to requalfiy for being VIP through 2009. (I'm already qualified through 2008 at both.)

However, only one of those two (I forget whether it was NW or DL) sent me an email specifically devoted to telling me I needed to dine more to requlalify. Other than that, by emails I mean other emails like "you're earned miles" while happen to mention how many more dines I need to requalify (among mentioning oodles of other junk).
