Ok thank you both of you. That makes sense and ties in with what BA said too but I don't see how it's right in this case. They have all had their partner cards and status year after year which means they cannot have expired by June 2019 which means I should not have been able to renominate them in June 2019; but I did.

The only explanation would be if they were not upgraded prior to June 2019 but that is simply not the case for any of the three of them. Two of them actively used their status during the first part of 2019 and certainly prior to June.
