Not to mention that after qualifying for BD*G the first time with 54k EQMs or being matched to BD*G you only need 38k EQMs per 'year' to requalify. You still need 100k status miles in one of your 2 calendar years to requalify for SEN - although that's not too hard with lots of F and C travel. ![]()

![]() ... although I was being sold SEN recently by being told that if you time it right, you only need to meet this requirement every three years ? In other words, the choice is between qualifying for SEN once every three years or ensuring qualification for BD*G each year.

![]() I am not so sure what you mean...
My SEN will expire on Feb 2009. So I should have 100K to requalify in the calendar year of 2007, or 2008. Since I have earned 100K in last January alone, now I have requalified up to February 2011 unofficially. If I don't requalify in 2007 or 2008, I don't think LH will give me another year of SEN in 2009. |

![]() Are you referring to the SEN 'buy-back' program? Otherwise I'm not sure how the 3 year thing works.

![]() jjpb3, I'll pass on your message.
![]() Doing a CR3 (say) every 3 years to get continuous SEN *G status and crediting my miles at other times to another FFP is certainly worth considering... |

![]() Ahh - now I got it. Thanks jhm and yes help me extend my regards to alex0683de.
![]() Now that's something to consider to maintain both SEN and my AA status... Unfortunately for me I qualified on Dec 31 2006 so only 2 years this time... ![]() They sent out the SEN pack pretty quickly to Melbourne though - so no worries about not getting card in time. ![]() OT - For the other FFPs that also operate on calendar years, it does mean that you can effectively have a 2 year status using the aforementioned method of qualifying. ![]()

![]() ... although unless they give you a two month grace period after the end of the calendar year like M&M, you'll lose your status at the end of the calendar year until you regain it at the beginning of the following year. Meaning that your (re)qualification flights won't benefit from any tier bonus and presumably also bad for any lifetime status which you can obtain by continuous qualification.

![]() Do you think this work on UA?
Okay for example I don't get 100K by Dec 2007. My card is still valid until Feb 2008. If I qualify as 1K by 28 Feb 2008, my new card will still be up to Feb 2009, not Feb 2010. Am I completely wrong? |

For example, my BAEC membership year ends 8 May but my card is valid until the end of June. It means that if I do a OW RTW in June, I can access lounges etc with my card but I wouldn't get the tier bonus for my flights. |

So I think if you 'requalify' or, theoretically, newly qualify for 1K in Feb 2008 - the status ought to be valid until Feb 2010. It's treated as a new qualification me thinks - you'd have theoretically lost 1K and then qualified for it again.
