Since you made AA gold via challenge-- and quite recently-- that inhibitor should kick in.

That said, you certainly can't go wrong asking!
Understood. That's why I came here to ask.

Tried calling them today but got a recording that they're closed for the holidays. Guess I'll try back Monday.

Not to cite The Blogs Knowledge again, but I read that you could are typically turned down for 2 exceptions in 5 years, and I only have 1. And I thought an exception was only if you failed to complete a challenge. Perhaps they got that wrong, too.

Thanks for the help, JonNYC, happy holidays!
