I guess one question lingers. I currently have mint suite priority. If I cross another tile threshold and pick 20 extra tiles, do I lose mint suite priority?
Not if you took Mint Suite Priority and then 20 more tiles in the same year,
according to the website. Not even if you took Mint Suite Priority and Pet Fee Waiver in the same year. "
Once selected, any Perks You Pick are valid from the date they were earned through the end (12/31) of the following year. "
Either I am confused, or the website descriptions and nomenclature have been changed and clarified. Didn't both the 10-tile perks and the Mosaic level perks used to be called "Perks You Pick?"
At any rate, here's what the site says now: There are five perks called
Perks for True Blue Members to choose from at the 10 tile levels.
On reaching Mosaic 1, you get the
Mosaic 1 Signature Perks, which include all the above or improved versions, plus some more. Each Mosaic level has additional Signature Perks.
Also, then and every time you level up, you get a
Perks You Pick, which is the six we've been discussing. That page
also says "
Perks You Pick are stackable, so keep collecting tiles to add even more." I think they're talking about the Perks for True Blue members, also referred to as TrueBlue Perks You Pick™ in footnote 3.
But it's also true for Mosaic Perks You Pick, at least until you level up in the following year.
The Mosaic page says "Once selected, any Perks You Pick are valid from the date they were earned through the end (12/31) of the following year." So they are stackable, but only the ones from this year. Then in that following year:
."Each time you reach a new tile milestone in the new year, you’ll have the chance to either:
o keep the current perk (which extends it through the end of the following year).
o swap it for a different perk (which will be valid through the end of the following year).
If you choose to replace the current perk, it will expire the day you select the new one.
Please note that Perks You Pick must be extended or replaced in order of their initial selection."
.
If that's the way it works, then your number of stacked PYPs is limited to the higher of your Mosaic level in the previous or current year. For example, if you're Mosaic 2 in 2023, then you can take two ongoing (non-consumable) PYPs into 2024. Your first two PYPs in 2024 just extend those two (or a substitute) to 2025. If you make Mosaic 3, you should be able to get a third ongoing PYP - which would happen if the "
through the end (12/31) of the following year" rule takes precedence over bumping.
They have six more months to clarify that, and hopefully to also clarify that the consumable
perks (which they refer to in one place as "one-time perks") will not bump the ongoing perks.
And if I really understood all this, I should get a PYP PhD.
