Of course not. Everyone who's relying on a banked year or level up should expect to be downgraded, probably at 5PM Mountain time tonight, given AC's UTC fetish, and then maybe at some point in the next couple of weeks, they'll run the banked years and level ups and we'll get back to whatever status we should have. And of course they'll treat it as though we newly qualified for that tier, meaning a reduced level of eUps.

I fully expect to be 75K for my flight next Thursday and to have to fight them for the SE bonus points at a later date.

Because you can guarantee that, given the lack of thought they applied to this process, plus the fact they seem to have made the decision in a rush, it's not going to go smoothly.

Anything better will be a positive surprise.
