Guess I will go and select my last-ever set of RUCs.
Hopefully I will have better luck with them this year than in 2018. I went 0/4 trying to redeem for flights between LAX and ATL. Finally gave up and cashed one of the 4 in on ATL-HSV and the other three expire today.
Also 12 drink vouchers expiring tomorrow. I have no idea how I ended up with 12 instead of the customary 4.

You get 4 for every status level you achieve, so you should have gotten 4 for Silver, 4 for Gold, and 4 for Platinum.

Sorry that it's your last set of RUC's! It seems to me that ATL flights are the hardest to confirm upgrade space to the most competition (or is that just me...)?
You get 4 for every status level you achieve, so you should have gotten 4 for Silver, 4 for Gold, and 4 for Platinum.

Thank you for explaining how I ended up with 12 drink certificates! ^

I think that's only true if you are reaching each level for the first time -- you get them for each level as you go. If you requalify in a following year you only get the member packet/drink chits/JWDs (if applicable) for the highest level.

That seems to contradict my case: I've been DM every year (with at least GM from 2MM) and I currently have 12 drink coupons in my account. I have no clue when/why they arrived.

I don't think I've ever had more than 4 at a time other than the first year going "up the ladder" so to speak.

Same (although swap in FO/1MM). I never spend them, so some may be continuations from other years. But, notably, I also haven’t received the customary new ones for the 2019 program year - everything I have expires today. So almost wonder if they accidentally issued this year’s drink certificates with the wrong expiration date?

Went to select my 2019 benes, and I noticed it says they have to be chosen by Jan 31 2020? Is that true? Maybe I've missed that in the past...

If you had CBs expiring today Jan 31, 2019 those would have been 2018 CBs earned from MQM activity in 2017.

The most I've had was 6 when I made DM for the first time. 2 days ago I looked and had 4 for all of next year. I just looked now and they have disappeared. I have no ideal what happened. I always end up giving them away. Maybe because it's Feb 1 where I am right now. The system is confused lol

If you had four (maybe from reaching PM), used two and then got four more (for DM), you would have six.
