It‘s a very interesting rule for everyone, who gets his status by credit card or gifted. He gets rollover nights based on a status, he didn’t have last year and won‘t have the following year. I‘m Diamond, I will be Diamond and I have 21 rollover nights after 31 nights last year.
On the other hand it doesn’t really matter, because most of them will get their status by cc in the next year as well. But who cancel his cc should be aware of it.

No, it does not reduce your Diamond requirements. You need 60 nights to earn Diamond. Your credit card gives you Gold status, but zero nights credit.

For example, if you stay 40 nights every year, then you'll be gold.
But if you stay 35 nights every year, then you'll be diamond every second year (due to 25 nights rollover), and gold the alternate year (due to the credit card).
ie, staying more will actually result in lower status...

For people who normally have far in excess of 60 nights:
Does that mean that we are effectively "double-dipping" the 10k bonus pts we earn for each 10 nights? For example, not only do we earn 10k pts at 70, 80, 90, 100 nights... etc. but the rollover to the subsequent year means that we'll earn more 10k pts tranches than we would have otherwise without the rollover? So in effect I should be thinking that we are essentially earning 20k bonus points per 10 nights after 60 nights, rather than only the regular 10k pts.
With a maximum of 60 rollover nights, that means an automatic 60k bonus points to people who stay 60+ nights because we'll end up at a minimum of 120 nights.

Ok thanks - that's odd. So someone with let's say 43 rollover nights will hit the 40k bonus (which is normally after 60 nights) at 103 nights on the counter? Not exactly the most intuitive.
