Unlike with some airlines, there is no automatic soft-landing for all NW elites. For example -- after having reviewed the first two accounts in my possession that were not mine -- I noticed that the two NW Gold accounts I reviewed that had zero EQMs last year are to be dropped to general Worldperks members effective March 1, 2009.

You are right that in the past, status for the upcoming FF year was updated just before the end of February. I went and looked accounts of my wife and my children. They had zero EQMs for 2008. THey have dropped from PE to SE.
