Is this correct
 
No more paper certs for making status before qualifying period ends

I made 2011 Elite for third consecutive year on Dec 4-10. Picked benefits today after finally receiving email. Spoke with AP to fix an account issue and also learned that I cannot use 2011 eupgrades until March 3, 2011. In previous years, I received paper certs for that expired end of Feb. I Have travel planned end of Jan but have no way to upgrade.

Welcome to FT!

You are correct. I. Previous years you could use you new certs as soon as you received them ( ie Jan). Not so this year.

Though Andrew from AC did mention in one of his posts in Dec that extra certs will be sent out- though it is not clear to me if that means with the new packages, or only to those who have crossed a threshold in Dec

If you hit the 40K threshold you would get paper certs for that.

Andrew clarified that all Es and SEs will be getting both a red cert (SSWU) and a blue cert (SWU) with their package to fill this transition period. Unless you passed a threshold in Decemeber, those are the only new cert you will have to fill the gap until March 1st.

Thanks. I wont hold my breath waiting for anything. It was always nice to use those paper certs for Jan-March and having a new batch for the rest of the year.
