1. My year end is 31/08
2. I started taking the holidays around November/December time
3. When each holiday was finished I was given until the 31/08 of the following year to renew to Diamond
4. So I did not get a full year to renew to DM. Not that I had any interest.

The rules may have changed but that was my experience.

Good :Luck!
I'm a bit confused. If one can request a membership holiday to be shorter than a full year, and the membership expiration month does not change (just gets rolled over to the next calendar year), does that mean one can theoretically have a period longer than 12~13 months to renew or upgrade their tier (e. g., 18 months to earn club points if membership holiday is only 6 months)?
