When did that become the case? I failed to requalify in 2000 for 2001 and was comped based on UA status. If what you say is true, it is definitely a new rule. (Not that there aren't about 600 new rules lately.)
Comping is apparently a once-in-a-lifetime thing, though. You can't trick them into that twice.
