@rjlavoie, same thing happened to me. Now I am dropped down to Platinum level. Which level are you?

I wonder if I still retain my rep now that Platinum excludes reps.

@MoneyPenney, I'm down to Gold. I have enough orders waiting to ship to bring it up to Platinum level, if they count it.

I'm still ok for now unless they change it.

Your Masters Club Level is PLATINUM PLUS.
Enjoy your benefits through 12/31/2021
You are $xxxx away from renewing your PLATINUM PLUS Membership for next program year!

I went from Platinum Plus to:

"You are $250.00 away from unlocking the benefits of BRONZE membership!"

I have sent an email to inquire, but it sure makes the Mint look like they do not know what they are doing. Sad.

I presume this will all get straightened out after all of our histories are re-loaded into the new Master's Club. I can't imagine that after only 1 or 2 days they have all the bugs worked out -

SAME HERE. I went from Platinum Prestige to NOTHING just like yourself. I got the same thing you did asking me to join when I logged on. I hope this is fixed soon because it looks as if none of my purchases for 2020 are counted. What a mess.


DOES ANYONE REMEMBER THAT IF YOU HIT PLATINUM PRESTIGE, YOU ARE A MASTER CLUB MEMBER FOR LIFE?

Well that didn't last long. I went from:

Your Masters Club Level is PLATINUM PLUS.
Enjoy your benefits through 12/31/2021
You are $xxxx away from renewing your PLATINUM PLUS Membership for next program year!

TO:
Enjoy Masters Club Level GOLD status until December 31.
You have 0 points to redeem through to 12/31/2022.
Keep earning! You are $XXX.XX away from unlocking the benefits of PLATINUM membership!

I guess Gold is better than nothing. :)

All the same as me, except I did have
"Keep earning! You are $XXX.XX away from unlocking the benefits of PLATINUM membership!"
Then the next day,
"Keep earning! You are $XXXX.XX away from unlocking the benefits of PLATINUM membership!"
Note - another X was added.

I wonder if we'll get the % $ code to redeem from last years purchases?

There must be a glitch in the Mint's MC program because now I have been bumped from Platinum to "New Collector".

Not only that but I no longer have any advance notice of new releases which usually comes out on Monday night.

So, have people that have this MC status problem, receive any email with new releases? I got notice from CC&C but not the RCM.

My transition to the new program was correct... they retained the spend level I had in 2020 and am in at the appropriate level (Diamond). I also received the January release notice last night (Just after 9PM Pacific or Midnight ET). I added an entry. http://goccf.com/t/389902

@Moneypenny, There certainly is a 'glitch' I signed up, and the website put me in "Bronze" - I then placed a web order for $30. Under my 'real' status that should allow for $0 shipping - instead, I was charged $7.99 shipping.

I then emailed my rep with a 'snip' showing the total of the bill - including my 'Bronze Status' and the $7.99 charge. He replied with "I have forwarded your complaint upstairs".

In the meantime, I have placed my usual New Year's order by email through my rep - to ensure I get all the benefits I'm entitled to.

Yes, a couple years ago, during some harder times (what could have been harder then 2020?).... I asked my rep about that. He assured me that if anybody breaks the ceiling of Platinum Prestige (level 5), and then never orders again - they maintain their membership as a "Silver" (level 1) status "for life".

(edited to correct "Platinum" to Platinum Prestige and the corresponding levels.)

As a newer collector this is really disappointing. I don't think I would be able to hit the $3,000 required for platinum given the low variety in 2020. It's very disappointing to see dealers on ebay selling 40+ Masters Club coins and having to pay almost a 100% premium for some of them.

I am really excited by the master club "Birthday gift" benefit. 1000 points. Wow! That the whole $1.
For me there was never enough incentive to by from RCM. I maintained Platinum level only to get access to Master Club coins.
In 2021 I am going from Platinum to None. No more buying from RCM directly!
I can buy most of the new coins with 5% to 10% discount from the dealers and not to pay 7% of BC PST either.
On $3000 that means savings of ~$400, which can be spent overpaying for a few coins on ebay.
