A3 actually still does this (in their own obscure way), but this fact is not communicated directly to members anywhere (not even in the T&C), and this is probably in order to reduce the amount of people that will qualify for the top tier. If you read through the A3-forum, you can get enough info on how to navigate A3's program with relative ease. On the other hand, they did increase the qualifying thresholds significantly last year, so you have to fly a lot to get to GOLD from scratch.
So, good luck to you then,
