I know this has come up in the past, but I am wondering if anyone knows if they have corrected an annoying bug in the status gift system:
I am currently Gold, set to drop to Base member Mar 1, 2013.
A family member is Diamond and willing to gift me Gold using the 2013 benefit.
Last year we had to wait until Mar 1, 2012 when my 2011 Gold status expired to use the 2012 benefit for Mar 2012 - Feb 2013 Gold because the system was unable to "extend" my status (It would say something like this member is already Gold).
Is this still the situation this year? IE do I have to wait until Mar 1 2013 when I am no longer Gold to get gifted back up to Gold or can we use the benefit now and it will simply extend the status until Feb 2014?
