You are earning your *status* faster, you are not earning your *miles* faster. So no, you are not being shorted any stickers. You are being granted EXP status faster (which means, hehe, no stickers).
This is the way I look at it and for sure, if no promo, I would have a few more stickers. But I would have no SWUs or free upgrades or whatever.
What are you talking about regarding the "pro-rated" stickers?

For 100K BIS miles that would be 40 stickers; I'll hit EXP after flying about 68.5K BIS miles this year, so will have earned only 20 stickers before qualifying out of sticker-earning PLT territory -- fewer, actually, because I was short at the end of February and didn't call to get the pro-rated stickers. So though I'll finish out the year at just under 100K BIS miles, I won't acquire stickers after sometime next week, when I roll over 100K EQM.
Or will I? Seems unlikely to me.
