I reckon I'm in Alice in Wonderland, things get 'curiouser and curiouser'. I got this email today:

You currently require 2,500 tier miles to retain your SILVER status.

While your review date has just passed on 28 February 2013, we would like to offer you an additional month to earn the remaining 2,500 tier miles required to retain your SILVER status.

We do understand that travel patterns tend to fluctuate. In recognition of this and your continued loyalty, we hope you can take advantage of earning your remaining tier miles by 31 March 2013. If your account is missing any flight activities, you can Claim Missing Miles online. If there are other reasons for reducing your travel with Emirates, we welcome you to share your feedback so that we can better understand matters impacting your travel with us.

Yours sincerely,

It seems rather than going up, we're going down!!!! Again as per earlier comment, if we travel J it isn't going to make any great odds to us if we are blue, silver or gold. It just seems odd that a GLA-MELJ return every year for last 3 years (albeit saver) leads to a drop to Blue?
