Icelandair tracking period?
I am confused on how earning status with Icelandair works. I just earned silver status with them, and the web site shows how many points I would still need to earn in order to become gold (i.e. to reach 40000 points). But what is unclear is how much time I have to earn those points. It appears that the system is not based on calendar year as my newly minted Silver card will expire in September 2020. Is this calendar year based, rolling 12 month based or what?

Yes, tier points expire one year after earning them. As you just made Silver, you have earned 40,000 tier points
in the past year, but your total tier points accrual will go down as the tier points you have expire at the 1 year point.
So, to make Gold, you need to get to the 80,000 point mark within the 12 month look-back window.
As a Silver, you get a 10% bonus on tier points, so getting to Gold will happen with a shade less flying.
Be sure to take advantage of your one time Silver upgrade, as it is a booked upgrade, as opposed to the space
available upgrade at the gate for Gold.
Congrats on Silver, hope you make Gold.
