Actually that leads me to a question.
Given that XP are being deducted at point of status achievement, does this apply also to accepted status miles for Q1 2018?
Because it seems that if I get just over 25K miles to get silver, I would get 125XP to count towards gold?
It would suck to get just under 25K then though, possibly instant silver but only ~20XP to go for gold qualification...
