Thanks much, BobH. I am already Gold this year, so not sure if I'd be able to tell. But I'll check to see if there's some indication of it lasting through 2014. I'm also not clear as to whether a "qualifying stay" has to be at the MVP rate. I hope that it just means any HH earning stay.

EDIT: "...through 2012" on the Account Overview page ...so I still wonder if it will show up at the beginning of 2013 -- that is, if I did qualify. I may have to do the un-male thing and call customer service. Just wanted to be braced by FT experience before I do.
