Yup

edit: ok, I think I understand. It must be where it says anythng above 55K is converted to destination miles, right? But I would prefer this did NOT happen, until the 38,000 membershuip mles were recorded to extend my gold membership to an additional (i.e. 2) years.

Do you know if I an opt for that instead? I'd prefer to retain gold longer, than just to accumulate a lot of miles (which seems impossible on any airlines to redeem in anything other than economy seating, from recent attempts). Thanks.
