I'm sure the experts here have figured out the answers to my questions about the new regime: 1) When should I nominate partner cards for maximum longevity and 2) when do my "qualification" jokers expire/when do I get the "new year" ones? (I'm assuming still May 8th but easily be wrong)
Thanks!
1. I don't think we know for sure yet but at the moment (in 2024) I would be looking to nominate partner cards the day after their current card expires. Henceforth (from 1st April 2025 onwards) it would be 1st May, which should give status until e.g. 30th April 2027.
2. I think that your Jokers this year may expire 31st March 2025 but then you would be re-issued 2 more on 1st April 2025. As the Jokers/Space-release aren't really shown officially online I think this is the most likely outcome with the GGL line not allowing anyone (other than GGLfL) to have more than 2 unused Jokers at a time. Speculation, though.

Assuming 3000 TP gained 1 April 2024 to 8 Jan 2025, then you receive
1 set of benefits for 8 Jan 2025 + another set for 31 March 2025!
Potentially, yes.
My suspicion is that it would be very complex for them to try and avoid this, so I imagine that there will be new partner cards and Jokers for everyone who re-qualifies in the shortened 2024-2025 TP earning year. But as per above, I also believe any Jokers earned in 2024 will have a shortened expiry of 1st April 2025.
