This is the poster's first post on Flyer Talk. S/he doesn't have access to CC (Coupon Connection) for 3 months or something like that.
I agree with another poster - try to do mileage runs next January or early February. But that might mean needing a lot more miles than 40K to maintain a higher status that you only need 40K if taken through EOY. I am doing this variation myself but I booked it months ago and doing a lot of flying the first 11 days of January.
