So, does this all mean those that are E or SE, could drop out for a year, revert to Prestige or less, then regain E or SE by travelling alot in one year which would give them benefits for 2 years?
Sounds like a good way to take a sabbatical to me although at the cost of no upgrades for one year. What guarantees exist that the early qualification program will even be around after this year? None, of course. The programs all change each year as we know.
Finally I can only assume that people who earn status by this early qualification means they will get E or SE kits each year and not simply a nice card.
