- Person B: Organic Gold or Partner Gold. TP year end 08 Nov 2024. Card expiration 31 Dec 2024.
- Person C: Organic Gold or Partner Gold. TP year end 08 Feb 2024. Card expiration 31 Mar 2024.
- Person D-F: Silver
Partner cards are issued on TP year renewal (09 Jun 2024, 01 Apr 2025, 01 Apr 2026). Assume GGL is re-earned each year.
If the partner cards don’t organically make enough for Gold, which sometimes happens, here is our plan:
- 02 April 2024: Upgrade person C back to Gold. Gold should last until 30 April 2026. (25 months)
- 02 Jan 2025: Upgrade person B back to Gold. Gold should last until 30 April 2026. (15 months)
- 02 May 2025: Upgrade person C, if possible. Gold should now last until 30 April 2027?
- 02 May 2026: Upgrade person B. Gold should last until 30 April 2028.
- 02 May 2027: Upgrade person C. Gold should last until 30 April 2029.
- and so on.
+ something similar for Person D-F each time they drop from Silver to Blue.
I believe that everything you have said is correct.
Person B is only Gold until 30 Apr 2026 as when you nominate them on 02 Jan 2025 they are now within the SHORTENED TP year structure.
The reason Person A has an expiry of 31 Jul 2025 is that they have already re-qualified as GGL within their current (OLD) TP collection year.
Going forward subsequent GGL card expiry dates will be 30 Apr 2026 (from the SHORTENED year), 30 Apr 2027 etc.
Going forward the optimum partner card nomination day will be 01 May and will give expiry 30 Apr 2 years hence.
