leaving it to the last minute
AQM 117289
AQD about $20370--AC and I have a dispute about $16 but I am not pressing it
A pretty typical year for AQD but more AQM than usual so I guess I must have been getting good value for my flying dollar!^ (I always fly up front where there is a front cabin even on overseas flights)

Final tally for the year:
AQM - 111474
AQS - 60
AQD - $30018.83 (although I seemingly received double credit for $1523.69 for a YYZ-LHR flight that I had to call to get credited)

Maybe time for some new material, Ken.
Yet every year about this time we have most of the regulars along with the new batch fretting about whether they'll achieve or maintain their desired status level, whether the year end roll over will go correctly, what new enhancements are on the horizon, and wondering if or what status they will achieve in the coming year.
I'm just here to assure them there is life after frequent flyer-hood.
And it is glorious.

That might have been the case but the "confusion" persisted even after I repeatedly tried to explain Maine not Oregon.
So I can only presume they were profoundly ignorant of geography or too pig "I work at the airport" headed to acknowledge an otherwise insignificant misunderstanding.
Or both.

Sweep seems to be taking a long time this year. I rounded SE on Dec 7, and my status on the altitude website still shows as 50k.

When I started traveling for work, I started in August - and I hit 35k that first year. The following year I hit SE, and I've been SE all but one year (last year) since. I don't think its too uncommon. Most high-status travellers are doing it for work - so when the work changes, the status does too.

I've done the complete 25k-100k run twice. I have the complete sets of altitude cards somewhere. First time on my initial 100k qualification. Second time after baby.

Surely there is a sweep in the beginning of January?

In the past, we've received our "Select Your Privileges" email and received packages in advance of March, for those who have hit SE in late December. They always say "March" just to be safe.

Maybe pure coincidence... or maybe because I poked them about it...
