Hi LMichaelFrancis,
We recognize how you want QuickBooks to work the way it used to be. Let me provide you more information about this and guide you with the update.
We've updated several components to focus on more benefits, several ways to earn new points-based structure, and improve the in-product experience.
Also, we have the 3 year grace period for your Advanced Certification in either Desktop or Online for three years in the Platinum tier. Please check this article for more information: Redesigned ProAdvisor's Program FAQs.
I got this article in case you have other concerns about QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program: QuickBooks ProAdvisor Program For Accountants,
Please let me know if you need anything else. I'll make sure to help.
