I have seen that happen, it will take a couple of weeks for them to update your status. You should get a mailing in the mail with your sponsors name on it as if it was a gift by him to you. In about a month you will receive the life member packet consisting of several items. I was told this was to expire on 3/2 but I was also told it would end on 1/31. I would still tell everyone to keep at it till they come out and say for sure it is over
