A couple of points units were added to the account over the weekend - we now have Elite status! It seems like HICV changed the way they calculate - Odd and Even units both seem to be counting fully towards status (before it seemed like only odd units were counting this year). Previously, our points available for rent equaled Annual + Odd and now it equals Annual + Odd + Even. Has anyone else noticed a change in status? With only Annual + Odd, we would still be Prestige, so this change is definitely a good thing!
Also, I noticed that all existing reservations had PointShield applied retroactively! Nice benefit, since I'm a cheapskate and don't normally pay the extra $35...

I wonder if they review accounts that gain status periodically and whether getting to Elite status "pokes the bear" and requires an immediate review. I'm in the process of getting points added for a 3rd party resale that will take me from Preferred to Premier. I might be best off leaving it there. Are you planning to buy the points from HICV to get your status back?
