    I am SGD83 short. And currently grounded to renew my Chinese work and residence permit. My second passport doesn't unground me as the Chinese authorities do not really like it.

    If I understand correctly, in June any PPS value accrued in June 2011 will be 'lost', so I will be about SGD2200 short. Is it month by month or day to day? I might just get my passport back in time if it is day by day to qualify in early June. If not I will fly enough in the next two months to qualify anyway.

    It would be nice to be recognized as PPS early. I have no forward bookings done yet, just dates in mind. Should I give it try and ask?

      Call and explain the situation to PPS. They might be able to give you an extension.

        Early re-qual applies when you've gone past $25k several months before the end of your year, not when you're technically short.

        Nonetheless, a phone call is the best strategy.

          Considered doing a turnaround or a weekend trip?

            Many thanks for the input! It's not a requal per se, it's a requal after five years. So, no PPS coordinator to contact and I'm not sure who to call. And yes, I would be flying if I could. Cannot leave China without a passport with visa/residence permit though.

              Quick update. KF got back to me last night. They informed me that with my upcoming flights at the end of June, I will qualify for PPS. That would make my qualification period 13 months, not twelve...but once again, I am not gonna complain. Sounded like standard practice though, which surprised me a little.

                Just received the e-mail confirming PPS status. Qualification period was indeed 13 months. Still not sure why...

                            I need advise from the experts. I am about $200 short for PPS requalification. I have a return J class trip coming up so I assume that I will requalify after the first leg which is > $200 PPS $ and the second leg PPS $ goes into Reserve Value?

                            TIA

                              Correct. Even the value of the first leg above the required $200 will go towards the RV .... unless you also qualify for Solitaire, in which case say bye bye to all your RV.

                                Thanks CarbonMan.

                                I was unsure as when I first qualified for PPS, none of my first leg remaining $1,500 PPS $ went to the RV even though I was only $500 short. Only the second leg full amount of $2,000 went to RV so I guess they take everything for first time qualification.
