I must apologise for voicing my strong opinions. I am a chinese as you can tell by my last name.
I do have good news for all of you that want to move up the Macro Polo ranks. If you call them up and yell at them for a bit they will eventually agree to the same standards as other airlines. They will not make you start over each time you reach a level. If you tell them to refer to the homepage the terms are very very vague. They throw the term Calendar Year around and with that you can argue that a Calendar Year means 365 days. So instead of achieving 90 thousand to get to gold you can just fly 60. You must keep asking for the manager otherwise they will tell you to sod off.
