A member's tier that their own points or nights do not reach
tier-threshold-mismatchon by defaultJapanese / English
A stated tier whose member's points or nights fall outside that tier's band
Example
How to fix
Check the member's value against the tier thresholds, and correct the tier or the value, whichever is wrong.
Why it matters
On a points or hotel statement, when the tier table says "Gold: 50,000 points or more" and a member stated as "Tier: Gold" has "Points earned last year: 42,400 points", the reader cannot tell whether the tier or the points are right. It happens when the value is updated and the tier is not, or when another member's value is copied. The bands of the document's tier table (the tier's name in the first column, its threshold in another) or tier list ("Gold: 20 nights or more stayed last year") are compared with the tier and the value stated in one section. A tier written with its lower end only (20 nights or more) is read as running up to where the next tier starts.
What it does not flag
Only a tier named exactly as in the table or list, with the thresholds and the member's value in one unit (points, nights, $), is compared. A balance, or what the next tier needs, is not counted as the member's value. Nothing is compared when the section states two or more member values in that unit, when two bands overlap, or when the thresholds are in different units. A value above a tier written with its lower end only (35 nights for a tier of 20 nights or more), and a value that falls in no tier, are not reported. A tier or a value written in a sentence is not read.
