As are the current Plats, we still need to hit 300k over 24 months (tracking period started prior March 1st 10, that is) and it doesn't make any difference if one collects >150k during his/her latter year (12m) of the the tracking period...
If you read the forum you can see that AY is really smashing their current elites with these changes and many of us are abandoning the ship and moving over to BAEC/AAdvantage.
