It would help if the airline websites posted some acknowledgement of your having requalified for an elite level, e.g., "CONGRATULATIONS MARTIN FROBISHER! YOUR CONTINUED LOYALTY HAS EARNED YOU PLATINUM STATUS FOR THE THIRD STRAIGHT YEAR!"

Between Jan 1 and late February when the new elite kit arrives by mail, there is no indication anywhere of your impending status. Aside from the emotional, there is a practical side as well: the member who earns his 60th segment on New Year's Eve might like to have confirmation that the segment was credited properly before all goes to zero.
