My VIP Silver status did not change from last year. I just looked at it today.
The reset must be more complicated than just every January. Maybe it’s an amount spent within the last x months, rolling over? The options are endless.

1/18 - 12/18 = $3520
1/19 - 12/19 = $1258

For 2018 it was 60 Tins of Frog Morton Cellar :). 2019 I was buying from a number of other's. Not loosing sleep over this and you are better with End of Year and Holiday discounts anyway.

Your post inspired me to add up my 2019 SP purchases. Wow! I just realized that I spent way too much on pipes and tobacco last year. $2519.00:( Total for last year counting all pipe and tobacco purchases was over $4000. Holy Shit!?

I just moved to silver this week. Is it money spent this year or total?

I am not sure it resets as I have been at silver for the past two years! I don't have an american express black, which is what I think it takes to reach gold level.

Or maybe there is no good level and it's just an exercise in futility!

Enjoy the journey!

At the risk of being ridiculed for resurrecting an old thread, DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW MUCH YA GOTTA SPEND TO GET A GOLD BADGE? I'm starting to get offended here.... puffy

From another forum, I read that gold is assigned manually. There’s a minimum lifetime spend of some tens of thousands plus $5000 in a 12-month rolling period, or $50,000 lifetime. 10% off all pipes, and 20% off Dunhills.

if I spent 5000 on stuff there for 12 months I'd never buy another pipe as I'd still be trying to remember if I already owned that style already. Nice pipe, did I buy a nearly identical one, have to go down to the vault and see.....
