I am currently gold but have been platinum once in the past. When they say 'initial elite status' does this apply if you drop a level for say a year and therefore the rolling count starts again (for the next level) or does the rolling count only ever apply once for each status during your life as a MR member.

Hope this sounds clear! I am likely to be only a couple of nights shy of Plat and could easily achive with stays in Jan on rolling count if applicable?
