Same happened wrt Select Plus for me. I did have 1k TQPs post from the card a week before, but I'm pretty sure that was only bringing me up to 8k. Did not travel Amtrak last year.

I suspect they have a targeted structure requiring a certain number of members with each status. If WFH has reduced the NYC-PHL supercommuters to 1-2 trips a week from 4-5, that would really cut down the number of Select Executives, so a lot who only qualified for Plus get bumped up, which flows through to Selects becoming Plus and non-elites getting Select.

Wouldn't surprise me if the effective Executive requirement (for TQPs earned last year, it will probably be higher if we're seeing a return to office in Manhattan) was 14-15k, Plus was 8-9k, and Select was 4k.
