The original post says, "...I will be hitting A-List Preferred in a few weeks....," so the current flight record isn't helpful. I agree that the booking date may play a role in your number assignment within a group (BS, AP, A, EBCI), but your absolute number assignment occurs at T-36 and qualitatively seems to have many factors including recent activity.
