??? So what you are saying is that MPG will put everyone back to no status and we all have to start over earning status? That's not likely and will drive many to other programs. I suspect (and that's all we can do is guess) that if you have Plat status as of the switch over, you will continue to have Plat (or some high level) status in the new program.

And, as for LT status, it's been status LT status from BOTH programs will continue to be recognized after the switch. What we don't know is how the tiers will unfold in MPG so what is now Plat could be Ruby (or some other non-top tier designation). Again, we won't know until MR releases details.
