Frequently asked questions

What counts as a status deadline?

Three dated facts for each programme: when the current qualification year or cycle ends, by what date you must requalify to keep or earn elite status, and how long unused miles or points survive without activity.

Why do some programmes show no date?

Some programmes run a rolling or per-member qualification window rather than a shared calendar date, so no single date applies to every member. Where a programme genuinely does not publish a figure, the row says so instead of guessing.

How current is this data?

Every row shows the date it was last verified against the programme's own page. The calendar's overall freshness date is the most recent of those per-row dates, never a blanket refresh date.

Can I add this to my own calendar?

Yes. The page links a single combined .ics feed that imports into Google Calendar, Apple Calendar and Outlook.
