Tier Resetting

Also, one additional thing – I can’t say for sure but I believe the words “you have a fixed 12-month period from the date of your tier upgrade or renewal” is new. For example, currently, I have until November 23 to renew my status. If I renew it right now, under the previous rules, it would be good until November 23, 2024. But, it seems that, if I were to renew it on June 1, it would reset my elite clock to have it expire June 1 of the following year.

This may create situations where elite members hold off as long as possible to renew. This is actually pretty easy (if you choose to not fly Aegean when you are close to hitting your threshold) since you can purchase elite tier miles so you could always just purchase the last few you need right at the end of your member year.

I would be really curious if this is just speculation or true. Would be nice to know, if anyone renew status recently...
