Not an expert, but this is what i understand from reading posts from this time in years past, and asking similar questions...

I am in a similar boat. I met the requirements for 100k on Nov 1st, with the last AQD's being posted on Nov 6th

My understanding is that after Oct 15th, we have missed "early recognition" where you get the full package (tags etc) sent out to you for the new status.

Instead though, there are periodic 'sweeps', where we are likely to get 'swept' up to the new status and get the electronic benefits (new status on boarding cards, co-pay free Eups / Zone 1 boarding for SE100k, access to reward seats etc). I hope this happens soon since I'm off to PEK on Wednesday, and would really like a lie-flat!

I've also read that we might get 'swept' when the invites to choose 2018 benefits go out - rumoured to be ~ November 15th

Let me know if you get 'swept', and I'll do the same.
