    I'm not even sure how you hit 450 at this point. I subbed 2x 180 from launch, and have Veteran rank 6, but my next charge won't hit til October. I changed it to 90 days bu that doesn't seem to make a difference. I don't know how to set up my account to actually obtain rewards when they are released.

    If they registered w/ a 90 day subscription and then swapped it to 180 day, then it would put them at 450 days (90+180+180) at the 9 month mark (3 months + 6 months).

    What you have is the case where your subscription won't lapse till the 1 year mark (6 months + 6 months) but when it does then you can reach the 540 day (possible rank 8 if available) mark before anyone else.

    So you think I should leave at 90-day to hit in October, or change back to 180? Also I think running against me is the free-30 days I got when I added PS3 collector to my Legacy PC account at launch.

    the 180 day subscription will always give you the highest tier reward once it lapses (assuming SE created a new tier of rewards). The only problem is that the lapse does not always happen with the release of a new tier since the tier system has been increasing for every 90 days.

    3 choices: (assuming there exists a new rank for every 3 months of a subscription)
    1. You stay on the 180 day sub at this point. It will get you rank 7 and 8 in October and rank 9 and 10 in April. Going forward, you will always wait an extra 3 months for every odd number rank but get the even number rank as soon as possible.
    2. You take a 90 day sub and swap back to 180 days after that. This will get you rank 7 in October, rank 8 and 9 in January, and 10 and 11 in July. Going forward, you will always wait an extra 3 months for every even number rank but get the Odd number rank as soon as possible.
    3. Sub for 90 days, this will always give you a new rank for every 3 months but you will receive it 3 months after some players already have it in game.

    I would say to just stick with the 180 day sub for what ever category (option 1 or 2) you are already in since this will guarantee you to receive every other tier at the earliest. It's not possible to get every single rank as soon as it comes out unless SE either changes the way subscriptions work or change the frequency of how often these tiers are given out.
