OK, question for all you learned and much more experienced Elites out there.

I finally received my new elite card, and it says under valid through: 02/09
Seems to me this is wrong. IIRC in the elite rules on CO.com it says when you qualify for elite status, you get it for the remainder of the year you qualified (so through Dec 08 in this case), AND the entire following year,(so through the end of 2009), and as a courtesy it extends through Feb. of the next year. Just like my old Gold Elite card, it was good through 02/08 and I qualified in 2006, so I had it the remainder of '06, all of '07 and through Feb of '08.

Hopefully that's clear...I'm hoping someone can shed light on that. I know I've been dropped back to a humble silver, but will be gold again after next week...LOL
Thanks!!
