That explains it. See the section in the reference posts at the start of the thread:

Also note that when you first qualify for GGL, you will not receive a new batch of partner cards until you qualify again for GGL. So reaching GGL right before the end of your tier point year will not earn you double the number of partner cards in a short stretch of time.
So what this means is if you first qualify as a GGL say in February 2017 and your renewal is 9 August 2017, you will receive some partner card nominations in February but you will not receive any more on 9 August 2017. If you requalify for GGL (in this case via the recent extension) your next nominations which actually be available on 9 August 2018.
