Creator's Key Takeaways

you will be grandfathered in for 2 years. So, if you're a platinum at in June, you will be considered a platinum for the next 2 years.

for all of our diamond folks out there, you get six years um to maintain and be grandfathered in under that status

it gives you plenty of time to get used to the new program and to figure out how you'll earn your points and be able to maintain your status levels.
