Status Duration and Resets

  • Status remains active for current year plus following calendar year
  • Points reset to zero each January 1
  • Previous year's status benefits continue through the end of term
  • Status updates based on point maintenance:
    • Maintain/exceed points: Keep current status
    • Fall below requirement: Drop to lower tier

Example Scenarios:

  1. Gold Partner Example:
  • Joins March 2025 with 1000 points (Gold status)
  • Points reset January 2026, maintains Gold through 2026
  • December 2026: 900 points
  • January 2027: Changes to Silver (insufficient points)
  1. Silver Partner Example:
  • Joins March 2025 with 0 points
  • December 2025: Reaches 1000 points, upgrades to Gold
  • Benefits continue through 2026
  • Must earn 1000+ points in 2026 to maintain Gold for 2027
