In August 2023, I jumped the gun again and took another holiday and soon after CX announced the special upgrades for renewals. My current holiday does not end till March 4th 2024 and I have 1070 status points. My current membership expiry is July 2024.
I have a CX trip coming up after the membership holiday and can reach over 1200 status points by 31st March 2024. So I rang and asked if I can reset at the end of March and get the 400 bonus points or at the very least allow me to reset my membership holidays to 0.
I have been Diamond since 2012. Gold on Star Alliance and EK through my credit cards but Oneworld is my preferred group.
If there is a bit of time between hitting 1200, and 31st March, perhaps do a reset immediately then?
While not exactly the same boat, my year was to end 31 December. I reset early in December (for other reasons), and got the 400 bonus CPs.
