My activity statement does now say I have been renewed but Gold Award Eligibility still says "All complimentary upgrades have been used".
Guess I'd have to wait for my 24-month period to restart in Feb before the GUP and 5000 mile bonus are activated?
In my case, I have risen from the ashes of 'no status' back to Gold effective from 30 Dec 16. So GUP1 shows in my account.
I emailed ROP office to confirm the 50% birthday award is also available in 2017 - it is. Plan is for me to use my GUP on ICN-Europe with Mrs TK on a 50% biz award. Just need to find a spot in the year when we can travel...
