That's not a thing at all. True, in this posters case, it might take a day or two for status of the account to update, but, in general, a booking won't continue to deny you benefits simply because you didn't have status at the time of booking. The status is a factor of the account, not each individual booking. Apologies if I misunderstood what meant, of course.
