I was declined an invitation at that point despite having another ~$15k in tickets booked - they noted in their response that booked but uninitiated travel is not considered (which makes sense given that changes to travel plans are likely higher with high-volume international business travelers).

A few months later (June or July), once I had hit ~$67k in spend I received an email out of the blue from GS Review inviting me mid-year to Global Services. This was a ~1-2 month lag after that travel (and associated revenue) had been logged in my account. Obviously the threshold for mid-year review may look different this year and I was never GS previously so that could certainly be a factor.

Originally I emailed 1K Voice with the review request and they correctly routed it to the GS Review team so either should work.
