Update 1/1/20: Deal is back and now gives you status until 2/28/21 (although people are reporting the status valid until 2/28/22) Hat tip to Miles Talk
Update 1/17/19: This now gives you status through February 2021. Still shows the old date on the landing page. Hat tip to Frequent Miler.
Update 10/8/18: I originally had the wrong link post. I’ve added the correct link, in addition this seems to be working for existing National members as well.

Our Verdict
Previously they offered executive status but that was through 2/28/20. This is higher status, but this is only 1/31/2019. Keep in mind this is for new National enrollments only.
