Cheapest way of earning 46 (!) tier miles?
Hello A3 forum,
my SO is currently 1046 tier miles short of renewing her A3*G. She has 2 legs booked in V on SA which should, hopefully, earn 500 miles each (flight is operated by SA Airlink, so she might get a big fat 0, but anyway).
I wanted to ask confirmation that the cheapest way of earning the missing 46 miles would be to buy them from A3 and pay 25€. In fact, even if the SA flights don't earn anything, probably paying 75€ for 1500 tier miles would still be the cheapest way.
Does anyone have other suggestions?
Thank you!

Now I'm not sure if a flight on Nov 24 will count for the new year already...

Don't buy them just yet. You may have an IRROPs on LH/LX that could lead to you being put on a different flight in an earning booking class. You never know...

On the other hand, it probably makes sense to requalify as early as possible this year on the slight chance that this means that your package for next year will be sent early. Otherwise, you're likely to be without a physical card for a few months based on previous years' experience (there is no padding to the card's expiry date this year).
