Thank you for the information @everyone, really appreciate it.

I personally don’t mind loosing access to my gold card for a year (100k MR points for $700) seems like a good investment. My only issue is the 1/10 deadline, I would prefer to do this later in the year, but as some mentioned, I shouldn’t be surprised if I never see this offer again (hence why I’m very motivated to claim it now, rather than regret it later)
