Just got that email as well. I am currently in the 2 month 'grace period' before falling back to Silver (oh, the shame..
.). The email says I'm Gold. But I guess its expecting too much to have that type of Gold protected. I would have qualified again in June on the 13 month rule but that's not going to happen, even if they fly again by then, my travel requirements have changed.
