Between Jan 1 and late February when the new elite kit arrives by mail, there is no indication anywhere of your impending status. Aside from the emotional, there is a practical side as well: the member who earns his 60th segment on New Year's Eve might like to have confirmation that the segment was credited properly before all goes to zero.

Not too shabby for a single domestic "run" if I do say so myself....and I even managed to pick up 3 stays at Starwood hotels as well while enjoying the weekend in New Orleans (mmmm... good food).
I definitely have to go down there again at some point this year (probably not until after Mardi Gras is over).....if only to stop by Cafe du Monde again and have some beignets.

I know your pain all too well, hence why I booked myself about 10,000 miles worth of travel on two airlines to eradicate those evil zeros.
