You may try calling back to see if your acct could be reinstated.

In other words, never make a change until you have the time to research carefully. I think it was Been Franklin who stated, "haste makes waste".
I did call back within hours... they said they would send a letter to the department that handles it but didn't promise anything, and based on my online account view, I'm not sure they were able to reverse it.

Which is the stink, as I still have quite a few FEQM in my account...

That said, most of them will expire in a couple years and Plat vs. Gold isn't a very big difference so end of the day the 1.5 miles is probably worth it. I didn't use any FEQM this past year and probably won't next year either.
