Indeed, I agree the questions around lifetime status are generating the most discussion, and I think that's because of the finality of the 2018 deadlines, both for achieving LTPP status by any manner, as well as for achieving other statuses via the old program rules. And it's exacerbated by the fact that on the Marriott side, we won't be able to confirm years of LT status until August.
I'm good with wait and see for everything else. Programs change, and it is what it is. But it's frustrating not being sure if I've achieved LTPP, or if it's out of reach forever, or if it's within striking range. In the last case, I'll want to start taking action sooner rather than later if it's achievable...
