If you qualified for Glob in 2018, then you get Glob benefits for all of 2019. But what if you don't qualify in 2019?
Under the old program, you'd "soft-land" to Explorist and you'd get 4 lounge awards.
Under the new program, you'd "hard-land" to whatever level you actually earned. Stay zero nights in 2019 and you get zilch in 2020. Stay 20 nights and you get two lounge certs.
The net result is that sort-landing is a thing of the past, and you have to requalify every year.
