Remember, any credits earned over the 100 required for CP in the 12-month qualification period do not count toward your next CP. Hence my advice to bank and convert as needed.

Now, if valuation or redemption changes come down the pike, you may be forced to convert it all at once, but that is just speculation at this time.
I've seen multiple comments from CEO Kelly in recent weeks/months that we can expect to see changes to the RR program "in the near future." This could certainly be one of them.
