First of all, apologies for bringing up this old thread.

Like sxc, I don't foresee myself to be able to requalify for DM. As it stands, I'll be sitting at about 95,000 club miles at the end of my membership year.

Here's the question, should I make a mileage run to requalify or not? Even if I do requalify for DM, I'll be travelling significantly less in my next membership year (but definitely enough for GO).

If I don't, the 35,000 "excess" club miles that I've earned this year might be taken into consideration for my next membership year, which means that I could divert some of my travel to *A. What are your thoughts?

Any input, especially from the regulars, would be highly appreciated.
