1K members: During 2011, if you are a 1K member based on 2010 activity, you
will still be eligible to earn two Regional Upgrades per quarter as you did before. In addition, under the new program changes announced on Nov. 17, you will
also receive two more Regional Upgrades when you reach 75,000 EQM/90 EQS and two at every 25,000 EQM/30EQS after that. The
quarterly earning process will end on December 31, 2011, and then the new rules will be in effect for 2012.
My conversation with a 1K rep stated that that as a 1K in Jan, 10K BIS miles will count towards 2 CR1's. Which is why I'm flying 2 weekends in a row to get those 2 CR1's.
Otherwise I would have waited it out and not be in such a rush.
As for the rest of the year, I read the T&C's as CR1's are still accrued in a quarterly fashion until end of this year; in addition the 75K marker will get an additional 2 CR's, and every 25K after that.
