Yeah, I’m talking about people with status. Comped status provides exactly the same benefits as earned status. There is no difference. Heck, it seems like most people here were given comped status, that is higher than what they would otherwise qualify for.
As for the CC rollover benefits, it’s pretty simple actually. The amount of SQM in excess of the what you used to earn status, should be rolled over. So, if you earned 110k SQM and qualified for SE, then you rollover 10k. If you earned 76k and qualified for elite 75k, then you rollover 1k. If you earned 51k SQM but only qualified for elite 35k, then you rollover 16k. Similarly, if you earned 51k and qualified for 35k based on earned SQx balances, but you were comp’d SE status, you would still rollover 16k, because the comp’d status is not related to the excess SQM computation.
So, if you earned 30k SQM, but did not qualify for any elite status (but you were comp’d some elite status), then you would rollover 30k, since they are all excess SQM.
