Unless I want to fork over a bunch of money in sharing miles (I'm about 60k short and wife has 60k in her account) to send her miles to my account I won't make it before 12/31. I was hoping to have 20k SPG points to transfer, about 5k from my Citi AA and a bunch of LSC points hit to get me around 20k. If that would've happened I was going to share the miles to get there by 12/31.
More than likely I am being paranoid but now that I'm less than 60k away I'd hate to see all that hard work go to waste. Since I would never qualify for Gold on miles/segments (I only fly about 7-8 times a year) it would be nice to have lifetime status.
