Elite status is tied to the calendar year, yes? I want to work on getting my hubby to elite w/AA. My question is whether dines in 2007 will count or should I wait a few days and start in January? Thanks

If he gets 12 dines in 2007 he will be elite for all of 2008. Alternatively, if he gets 12 dines in 2008 he will be elite for all of 2009 and for the part of 2008 after he has 12 dines.

So if he is most of the way to 12 dines for 2007, get the last few and be done with it. Otherwise I would start after the first of the year.

In any case it resets 12/31 so no point in doing 9 or 10 or 11 dines this year!
