<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">Please note (look at the conditions) that When you do NOT meet the criteria of 12000 points in the first 6 months you will be downgraded to blue wing, irrespective whether you are now a current Royal wing member!!</font>

<font face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif" size="2">I've just re-read it, and while it's extremely badly written I *think* what they're trying to say is something like this:
- Those who have Gold status with another airline get a Royal Wing card

- Those who have Silver status with another airline get a Silver Wing card

These cards are initially issued for twelve months.

Those who, within those six months, meet the total requirement in terms of KLM flights get to keep their card, and are credited with the full award points from their other scheme.

Those who, within those six months, meet between half and 99% of the total requirement in terms of KLM flights get half the award points from their other scheme, and get a Silver Wing card if they were previously given a Royal Wing card on the basis of their Gold status in their other scheme.

In other words, those of us who made Royal Wing under their own steam won't be affected. Those who transferred in at Royal Wing level will be downgraded to Silver Wing if they don't do enough trips on KLM in the six months.

I *think* that's what they mean... it would be logical (but then again, is KLM ever logical?) </font>
