Yes, but the bigger point is that this lower amount was a one-time match allowance in order to meet a specific promotional goal, not the airline-stated amounts that you need to reach in order to meet the actual tier goals everyone else has to get to.
Anyway, if you are matched and met the goal, you already have that status through the end of next year already.
