A family member just flew the last sector needed to upgrade to gold, but it was just as the velocity membership information became unavailable so we can’t check if it’s credited. Do you know if they starting counting sectors and credits for requalifying only after the status review has happened (however long that takes nowadays), or do they start the count immediately after that last qualifying sector?
As an aside, the family member in question let me have a look at her velocity profile the other day. I spotted that she had more than enough credits for gold but was short one qualifying sector, which she had to fly by December. I’m so glad I checked. I can’t believe people don’t check these things! She’s so excited about being able to get into SQ lounges now.
