I believe there are three different issues :
- when your level miles expire : end of December, as you quoted
- end of elite status with respect to benefits such as lounge access : end of March, as mentioned on the FF cards
- end of elite status, with respect to elite bonus mileage earning : no personal experience, as I fortunately have not been downgraded yet over the last few years . Would anyone have an idea ?
