I'm a bit confused why all of a sudden there is a change in policy !

Any truth to this story ?

Thanks,
The official policy (as it has always been) is that all travel must be completed by the eVIP expiry date. In the last couple of years, exceptions were made to this rule. This year, it appears that it is being enforced more strictly although there have still been reports of people attaching expiring eVIPs to future travel.

Much discussion about this in the following thread (post #51 onwards):
