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.
There is no need to opt for that. Every status mail over 55k gives you an extra destination mile. As long as you have not reached this threshold, nothing happens. I have currently in the range of 210k status miles and 400k destination miles and for me, any F/C flight on a Star Alliance carrier scores 625%. 300% after the flight is credited, another 25% credited close to the end of a month and a further 300% credited mid next month. This is a very good deal
