Being Platinum, I'd have expected the automatic upgrades for my cohort to have been processed much earlier than T-23, and definitely not after T-24.

Don't get me wrong, it's nice to be upgraded no matter when it happens, so I'm not complaining (!!), just wondering why it apparently happened so late.
