If you were unable to requalify for the status you held in 2022, you have a second chance. To earn back your status through December 31, 2023, earn the following number of base flight miles between January 13 and April 13, 2023.

Has been discussed several times in this thread - the promo is about base miles, not EQM. Hope you didn’t pay for F just for this promo.

Edit: I am not entirely sure I should be MVP Gold at this stage? I would expect to be MVP (as per the 2024 qualification requirements), but I never received an invite to the challenge to qualify as MVP Gold member (until end of 2023) for flying 10,000 base miles.
Also discussed in this thread. You are invited to requalify for your old status, but you can also qualify for lower status with reduced base mile requirements. The FAQ on the page hints at that (though that is indeed poorly communicated):

I was MVP Gold in 2022 but didn’t requalify for elite status at all in 2023. Can I qualify for MVP via the Fast Track offer?Yes, if you are eligible for the Fast Track to regain Gold status but only fly 5,000 eligible base miles during the promo period, you will receive MVP status through December 31, 2023.”

Are you going to mow fly the missing base miles to get to 75k? Personally, I dropped from 75k to MVP and will only aim for MVPG.
