Actually the online link say ".Will Station match card status when we get a Boarding Pass? If I play at both Palms and Station, do I have the opportunity to get a higher card level?
Yes, from now until January 1st, we will
MATCH YOUR CURRENT STATUS, as follows:"
Which seems to indicate if you go in before Jan 1 2017 they will match your status. It doesn’t say when the status will EXPIRE.
I was not only given the June 2017 dated new card, I was explicitly told by desk personnel status lasted until June 2017 (they said it was good for 6 months), but also my former host (now a VP or somesuch), Kimberly, just this week told me in phone call that all status upgrades were to be for 6 mo.
So we shall see. She said she would check and get back to me this week.
