deelmakur, what do you mean by newer qualifiers? I qualified for the first time last year as Chairman's Preferred (and only due to the change of 100 segment qualification) and I received a comp Club membership this year.

Before last year I flew 20 segments all in the last three months of 1998 (hence no status) and before that never at all as a Dividend Miles member. So I'd think I'd be a new qualifier, unless you mean something else than what I'm thinking...

Or do you mean when I qualified last year? I made Chairman's Preferred in October, seems pretty late to me.
