I would say it is up to QR if they give the benefit of "not earned" status extension or not. Just be happy for those who got it ;-)
By the way, to earn 1500 to 2000 QPoints per year is not so easy, it requires quite extensive traveling ....at least that is my "feeling" with :-)

also had 4x Iberia inter EU segments and 4x Comair domestic segments in SA.
So not even monthly travel and still pulled off in excess of 1500 points.

I did just nine round trip longhaul flights with them in 2022. 2x JNB to USA, 5x JNB to EU and 2x JNB to DXB. All business class (except for the ""F"" between DOH and DXB for the ME flights trips).

My personal record was 1480 QPoints and what I do remember is, that this was too much traveling ;-)
But again - this is not a “easy” thing as you have to have the money for this amount of leisure trips, if it is for leisure, or you have to find (have) a customer, who is willing to pay for :-)
So in any case, impressive ;-)

In particular the last two years before the pandemic I was travelling often enough that crew remembered me from previous travel, for for long haul that is a scary amount of travel.

I had been notified in late-December that my Silver-status was extended to 31st March 2023, but had already booked my travel for most of the year on other (cheaper) airlines, now I've just checked my status and found it's still Silver until 31st December 2023, without being notified of the further extension !
No complaints about that, if only I'd been told sooner, and QR were more reasonable on pricing, then I might yet use them again. But all this last-minute extension, actually works against my booking with them, I wish they would communicate better, & further-in-advance !

not so sure, judging by social media, it appears people live on planes. Also not getting the white car service at HIA reserved for VIP's yet. Who knows where the mystery top tier kicks in?

Just logged into my account. I was one of the ones who got his status extended until Dec 31 2023. Now, to my surprise, my status is extended to to 31 May 2024.. However, instead of requiring 20 points to requalify .. I need 300!!! Anyone else has the same ??

Perhaps you crossed a tier threshold on 1 June this year to upgrade to the next level and reset your membership year date? If not and they've just extended you again for free, they are fast going to be hacking off a lot of customers...
