Actually, think I was mistaken:
I previously saw the 70 new credits and assumed 20 of those were the new Core Privilege credits for requalifying for SE.
But they are actually Altitude Threshold credits.
Should I be expecting another 20 to be deposited?

This is purely speculation on my part, of course.

On my dashboard now but no email notifying me that it was available. Looked because of this thread. Thank you!
Don’t want to make a mistake. Please tell me if I’ve got this correct.
Bundle 1 has only three choices. If I’m not worried about requalification and therefore don’t need the lower mileage option, then it’s a no brainer as only two choices left. Feels too simple. Maybe I’ve misunderstood?

Quick question regarding 2018 status benefits: I'm SE and will select 50K status for my significant other because she flies enough to make it worthwhile for her but she would not earn it herself. Should I then go for 50 eupgrades or better 100% mile bonus?
My aim is to sit in longhaul business class as often as possible. At times I can directly buy C, otherwise I will PE and may try to upgrade to C with eupgrades or other means on the night flights if possible. I earn about 120k-150k status miles with AC so would get about another ~125k award miles with bonus compared to 50 eupgrades. What would you consider to be of more value?

Does your significant other travel much on her own though? I'm SE and my wife has historically had no status. This past year, she was 50K. Other than saving me a handful of eUpgrades on a couple of bookings (which is likely moot since I'll end up expiring a bunch of credits), it has made zero difference to us because she always travels with me.
P.S. If you're an AC SE, how come we don't see you here and you moderate the M&M forum?

Same thing. The 50 eUps were in my account with 20hrs; still awaiting the 20 core privileges.
Timing isn't bad as I had used all 2017 eUps and wasn't looking forward to another red-eye in PY; with the 2018 eUps in my account, I'm now waitlisted for J for next week's flight.
