This only applies if you were not PM at the beginning of 2009. If you requalify for PM in 2009 (for 2010) you have to wait until 2010 to get your goodies (much to my disappointment).
I have used all my 2009 PMUs (that I received in Feb 2009) and requalified for PM in June and have already reached over 150k MQMs but I have to wait until spring 2010 to get my goodies (diamond goodies). Oh well, such is life.
