I get that MC is appealing to our vanity or sense of importance. Not unprecedented sales tactics we're dealing with here: think luxury or conspicuous consumable anything and we're in the same sort of realm. However, I am of the mind that if there is some reputable kind of patriotism that one associates with purchasing products from the RCM, this ain't it. I am genuinely embarrassed that I checked to see how far away from Prestige I am(couldn't figure it out) and if I might be able to still qualify (ooh, the excitement) to avoid a possible future irritant. So I am brought low.

@New1954 - My issue with the new methodology is that I usually skim through and order last minute offerings just to clinch free shipping. I can definitely see the "unfortunate" situation where my RCM shipment just "happens" to miss the window.

Not that anyone would purposely do that... But just sayin.

You just stated that you tried to skim through at last minute to see if you @ headlesone made it to platinum prestige.

I don't want to have to work through it anymore. I want my billings to reflect that immediately. I can only do that by invoicing. I am so tired of going through all my orders. Look, I have sold advertising for over thirty years and the best way is to go by invoicing date.

Too many people play games. Imagine that you placed an order for delta Star Trek coin. Order placed in may yet shipping in September. Now, at this time you still have thirty days to return. Why on earth should the RCM issue you a redemption code based on order date if you return that coin in thirty days? I have worked with billing my whole life. Invoicing date is the honest way to go for both RCM and the buyer.

I spend way too much money to worry about people complaining about making it to platinum. All I hear on these forums lately is "bye bye" NCLT!

This move by the RCM may be great for collectors who spend a ton of money on coins but it really hurts people who are on the cusp of reaching the next level during the months of May and June. If they are just a few hundred dollars short of reaching the next level they could lose out on obtaining their desired tier. This is especially the case for July releases that are available for ordering in late June. Most coins ordered during this last week will ship after July 1.
Rest in Peace

And yet, today I received an email from my rep indicating exactly the opposite. Any orders placed today, even if delivered in November, count towards your current m/c status.

Good morning,

Here is one of our new Canada 150 products.
Please advise, as quickly as possible, if this coin is of interest as I expect it to go quickly.

I have a very limited quantity available.

Please note that this purchase will count towards your current Master Club status even if it ships out in November.

Yes...your rep is correct because until June 30th, 2017 the old rules apply which is by order date. Starting July 1, 2017 all orders placed will go by invoice date rather than order date.

Wonder If they are smart enough to not allow us to double dip? Order now, included in 2016-2017, shipped in July, included in 2017-2018.

If not, you'll have to know what is 'on order' at June 30th and subtract it from actual billed July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018 in order to get MC spend for next year.

I need to purchase $210 before July 1st to reach MC Silver. So if I'm understanding this thread correctly, if I order the "Locomotives Across Canada" subscription, this should tip me into the Silver tier. Is that correct?

I planned on getting the series anyway, just not so soon.

@quasarito: I would call the RCM and ask your question directly to get a definitive answer. No sense in acting on a potentially incorrect answer given here - you would be the only one to suffer from such.

Subscriptions have always gone by billing date and not order date. So if you order the locomotive subscription and get the first one in June, then that one counts for this cycle ending. The other 2 in the subscription will count for next cycle.

This is my understanding but then again no one has to believe me.:)))))

In 2010 I ordered the Silver Lunar Lotus 12-Year Subscription Series (2010-2021)
And I know for sure that it counts as I'm billed each year.

This may be the reason the mint has changed their system because it must have been confusing for them having subs count as they are billed and everything else as they are ordered.

After waiting on the phone for an hour, I was able to confirm I was only a very small amount away from keeping my MC.

Anyone looking to get something last minute to get to a MC level, there is a promo on right now. Free stuff.

I had this offer come into one of my RCM accounts. It may not work for everyone. While already signed into my MC account in another tab of the web browser, I clicked o the link in the email to my non MC account. Even though the offer went to my non MC account, I was able to use the offer with no problems on the account that is MC.

I also got the vault promotion on my non MC account. But you need to choose coins from the Vault web page, which is a listing of older item that "you may have missed". Could not find a single coin I like.
