This was purely a presumption on my part however, and I want to check if I am wrong before asking AAdvantage.

Thanks in advance.

Independent of the challenge, points and/or miles are earned on a calendar year basis. So, the points/miles you earned least year are now gone from the yearly counter (although the miles live on in your Lifetime Miles counter).

So, you will need to earn the miles/points all over again this year to maintain/improve status.

Final answer: Don't call them because things have been handled properly.

Cheers.
