This is an interesting test of AC's software. I just selected my E50k privileges as part of Early Recognition, and we'll see what happens. I suspect (as some have reported) their system is smart enough though that for early recognition the Eupgrade credits are created with an expiry date in 2018 rather than 2019 regardless of when they are created. I suspect "earning" for a 2019 expiry data is for threshold eupgrades that are created on/after Nov 1st. That said, I could be over-estimating AC's IT system developers. I'll let you guys know what happens.
