according to Mr. Jeff a week ago:

"I understand your concerns over My Elite Rate.

We launched this as a brand new program this year as a test. When it was launched, we always said that it was a test for the calendar year. We are currently evaluating the future of the program, and no final decisions have been made. The rates are currently not available for 2015, as the program was designed to expire at year end."

No final decision has been made. I would stay a lot less if the Elite rate would not be available as I have many other choices and high tier with other programs.
