Four out of four Platinum Elites I know are dropping status this year. And I am sure they are not along. With belt tightening, no DEQM promos and less seat sales, Top Elite status seems rare for 2011. Now I am wondering if Gold will be the new Platinum for 2011. I am 20K away from keeping Platinum and rethinking if I need to make a year-end MR or two.

Can someone take a short poll to see what the Elite Status climate for 2011 looks like for current Elites? I am not sure how to create a poll on this board.
