I was shocked to receive an RA invitation in the mail last week! Here is my history:

Many years ago: Joined PC
May 2008: Joined Ambassador ($150) for the first time (exp. May 2009)
Aug 2008: Referred to RA by a kind FT'er; current Ambassador membership upgraded to RA (no charge) (exp. May 2009)
Feb 2009: Received downgrade letter
June 2009: Downgraded to Ambassador (no charge) (exp. May 2010)
Dec 2009: Invited to RA (exp. May 2010)

Qualifying Nights Towards Elite Status in 2009: 29
Total number of IC nights since Dec 2008: 24 nights (32 incl. non-qualifying)
Total number of IC stays since Dec 2008: 11 stays (16 incl. non-qualifying)
Total number of different ICs since Dec 2008: 10

It's quite confusing to review my account information, but from what I can tell, here is my record of IC stays:

I have other CP and HI stays, but these are the IC stays. Most of the stays were in different ICs, with only a few duplicates. Given this stay history I am at a loss to explain why I was given RA (if only for the rest of my Ambassador term), but I will try to make good use of it!
