Sorry to derail the thread, but YEG user mentioned something that confuses me. I qualified for 2009 status with the Amex promotion and have my welcome package/upgrades, but I didn't know if this was like AC in that I really earned "early" status for 2009 and full status also for 2010, or if I have to re-earn status for 2010 starting Jan 1 2010... Anyone know?
