I'd think a floating calendar for award redemption is a bit different than a floating calendar for elite tier status. Especially when a carrier doesn't have elite tiers (e.g., Southwest, JetBlue).

I'm not sure I can explain why it should be different, other than with just accruing flights/points for a free ticket is different from getting a bunch of immediate benefits while flying.
