Hi all,

Have any Velocity members seen their status elevated prior to passing the Status Credit hurdle?

I've experienced this today. I'm not at all complaining, but I am curious as to the basis.

Prior to the last 12 months, I have never earned a Velocity status other than Red. I quickly went from Red to Silver and then Gold in December 2014, and got to 980 SC a day or so ago. Logging in to see my point balance, I saw that I had been afforded a Status Review and was now Platinum.

I question this for another reason, given I received an e-mail offering congratulations on maintaining Gold even though I'd done so months ago.

I would like to think I've been awarded Platinum status and the messaging is slightly odd, although I worry about a potential system bug.

Thoughts?
 
No, but being 20 SC short of requal WP and also wanting to Family Pool 180 SCs from my next journey, I have the beg email drafted
