I talked to Cyclone Club today because we're going to be out of the country from 1-17 April and I needed to know when the lot picks were going to start.
We upped our donation this year but we still showed as Cardinal, and our rank showed up as xxx out of 1342 in our old category. When I questioned that, they told me that our donor level has been adjusted in their system, but that it isn't in my profile until after the donations are complete so they can calculate standings within categories. At least that's what I think she said. If I understood her correctly, our standing in the Gold level will be based on our points. IE: if someone has been at the Gold level for a couple of years, but has fewer points than us, we will out-rank them despite them being Gold donors longer. I think. Oh, hell, who really knows???
I also asked about when we will be picking for parking lot assignments, and they are targeting the big money people to start picking around the 18th of April. It should filter down to the Cardinal & Gold people about a week later. They will send out emails the first week of April, and postcards a few days after the emails.
