To further complicate things I was platinum and then diamond in 2018, and so it let me pick both Platinum and Diamond benefits. I held off on picking the 4 upgrade certs for Plat because it said I could pick by Jan 31, 2018; but now it says, "
0 of 1 Benefit ConfirmedSELECT BY JAN 31, 2019"
- so is this extension of time a mistake?
No. Benefits for 2018 need to be selected b Jan 31 2019.
Imagine the more typical qualifier reaching the threshold in Dec 2017. They would have all 3 benefits still to be selected, with just over a year to do so.
Even though you rolled over 75k miles, you probably don't yet qualify for Platinum for 2019 because you also need to make the MQD (or waiver).
Then you will get another Platinum benefit, which is a 2019 benefit to be selected by Jan 31 2020.
The Platinum benefit that expires Jan 31 2018 would be 2017 platinum benefit, from the previous year. If you haven't selected that, you should still have it (providing you made Platinum during 2016).
