The timing of this just as I'm planning on coming back to A3 (jumped ship after COVID over to SK)... So it seems like according to the FAQ that you can still go from blue to silver under the current rules (which in my case should be done in april) - doesn't it reset the qualification year if i remember correctly?

"You can upgrade from Silver tier to Gold, with the existing rules policy until 04/11/2026." - So I should be good to go with another 24k + 4 segments after april to get to gold, as long as everything is in by november?

How to requalify is a question for another day...
