So I won't become Silver till March 1, 2008. Which if I'm reading right means will be the first time I will be considered for rolling year qualification for Gold again. Which means that my stays in Jan and Feb 2007 (which are over a year old on March 1, 2008) won't count .. It'll be March 2007 onwards.

Just wanted to confirm with the braintrust that with the current system, if your status is ABOUT to expire then Jan/Feb are 'dead' months, and that stays in that period don't end up counting for the next year rolling year qualification because you are still officially gold at that time.

(Hope that makes sense.. I know it barely makes sense to me, which is why I am posting it... )
