Nz8 So my current membership year runs from 1st Feb 26 till 31st Jan 27 and I am actually already close to requalifying. So are you saying that despite the retention counter disappearing from my app, the SP is still being tracked for requalification? And say if I actually requalified between now and when my status hold ends on 28th Feb 27, I actually lose out because my status hold will end at that point and I go straight into another year of requal? That seems like giving me all the perverse incentive to not fly AirNZ!
Well the point is for people who will be flying less and not requal so when they come back they stay loyal to AirNZ. If you are going to requal why get the hold?
