I thought they extended for one year only and not two...if so it truly sounds like you lucked out (and we can only hope there's some of that for the rest of us!)
Thanks.
1) I wrote via email initially, and then via Twitter. The Twitter team replied right away saying that they had passed it to something they referred to as "our unit" and that this group would get back to me soon - and they did.
2)
I am editing my earlier post because I wasn't thinking clearly when I wrote the first edition!
Yes. The initial trial is for four months. The requirements stipulate that you must make an international flight on TK metal; that extends you to 12 months. Then, if you accumulate 15k status miles during that 12 months (whether on TK metal or not has been the question), they extend the status to 2 years. As the last part of the email I received notes, accumulating the balance of the 37500 during those 2 years will result in another extension (assuming another 2 years, though I won't know that for some time!)
