I'm just trying to get my head around the XP number and wanted to get a few things clarified.

If you're starting from a point of no status at all and want to work up the ranks my understanding is this:

- You have to earn 100XP to hit Silver status (at which point your year resets and your account is debited 100XP)

- You now have another 12 months have to earn a further 180XP to earn Gold status but, if you only earn 100XP, you at least retain Silver Status.

Is that right? Or, after earning Silver Status for the first time, do you have re-earn it (100XP) and earn a further 180XP to hit Gold - total of 280XP (all within 12 months)?

Likewise, let's assume a FB member with Gold status starting out on day 1 of his/her year:

Does 300XP in the next 12 month period automatically move him/her up to Platinum or does he/she first have to requalify for Gold (180XP) and then earn a further 300XP (for a total of 480XP) to get to Platinum?

TIA for any help.
