In our cases Phase 1 and Phase 3 ended in the same membership year, but that certainly would not be the case for everyone.

If you fall to Gold after Phase 1, the best you can earn through the promotion is Gold, so you should plan on packing on as much as you can in Phase 1 and try and keep it up in Phase 2, then you can see where you stand for Phase 3. Whatever you earn in Phase 1 is the best you can do in Phase 2, and whatever you earn in Phase 2 is the best you can do in Phase 3.
