Cheers for any insight.

I went from Jade -> Elite within one year.. this is how it worked for me..

Jade 0 -> 450 SP
Silver 450->900 SP
Gold 900->1500 SP

Elite (I got reset to 0 and I needed (from 0) to get 1314 points to retain Elite..). . This may gave been due to the free Elite Upgrade with Westpac, but I was ~20 SP from being Elite anyway..

SP expire 12 months after applied..so some people could be chasing to get up a Tier if you don't fly enough.
