Any correction would be welcome.
Hi JOUY31, thanks for clarification. I could not find the T&Cs, but they are indeed clear.
Hi Bodory, I dont think that it is a/the question. At least according to the T&Cs and several posts here; what counts is the last flight date and your current status. So, if you are currently ivory and miles are 20 month old (or more), they simply disappear. The date you lost status is not relevant. The way I understand it, FB drops a lot of miles in April when they renew status. That would be because some elite without acitivity in the past 20 months suddenly become ivory and get hit by the 20 month rule.
