What I'm wondering about is if you get early Elite or SE what are the expiry times of those ecerts. Do they last a year from when you get them or do they expire Feb 28/29?
i qualified for elite very early in 2010, at the six month mark i start having my AE nubmer removed at the gate just prior to boarding (after u/g if any). then when december comes along, the system sees that i qualify for Elite for 2011 and asks me kindly to select my E benefits for 2011. when that goes through, i submit a whole heck load of milage requests for the all those flights not credited, and that puts me way over the SE threshold, then the system sees that I now qualify for SE in 2011 and asks to select again. so for my E benefits i selected all eCredits and for SE i select %100 and all eCredits for a total of 95 eCredits for 2011 (excluding my FP eCredits and threshold bonus', which will take me somewhere to 257 eCredits for 2011)
