Do the MR reps have access yet to a system that will give a quick yet reliable answer to where we stand for qualification under the rules of the new program?
Aren't the legacy requirements for earning Lifetime in MR based upon years and points? Or, am I dreaming that? Sure, they can also earn LTPP based upon 750 nights + 10 years, but that's relatively new development, no? Also, since I was referencing the legacy requirements, why does the old vs. new program come into the picture? And the last question? Really? Didn't I already say, "Just like with SPG, an MR associate can tell you exactly what you need to earn lifetime status in that program." How can that be interpreted any other way than yes they do.
I would seriously like to try and relieve everyone's concerns, but we have come to a point where I don't think any further clarifications are necessary or warranted for anything that has been already answered. Every clarification raises ten other questions and there just isn't enough manpower or time in the day to continue on like this.
