Where did you get information about a rule change at the start of this month?

I see the old SPs dropping off a year to the day after they were awarded; every 366 days this year because of the leap year, and I hadn't seen any kind of end of month cut off related issues.
Hi team
drajknox - there was no information about a rule change. I just noticed when I was working to the rolling 365 'method', I wasn't getting the same numbers as the AirNZ website/app. When I adjusted it as I outlined above, it then all lined up.

Aqua_3380 - cheers - good to be back
Well, the good news is it's working for you (and the way we all agree it should work) - so maybe there was a glitch just for me (the universe was trying to stop me!). The even better news (for me anyway), is that I just have to focus on requalifying now, and not have to worry about the extra hurdle of qualifying. Good luck Aqua_3380 on your quest!
