If you ask me, the fair way is to give people a year from joining to earn the necessary miles/points.

The very commonplace way of basing the accrual period on the calender year is very unfair the first year to everyone but those that happen to join in January. Imagine doing a CPH-EWR-CPH trip in C in November thinking your on your way to gold status quickly - just to discover that on January 1st the clock resets !
