Sorry if I’m confused. My read was that the question related to poster’s ambassador status in 2019. In that year, as LTPP on account of existing MR LTP, that’s not in question - or am I missing something?

Edit: I see now that there is in fact a distinction between the non-spend LTPP status and the $20k level. I have been sidelined from travel for most of 2018, and am still trying to come up to speed on all of the latest developments (literally tens of thousands of posts here on FT alone!).
