- And will surpassing the 35k mile threshold in both 2010 and 2011 expand my status longer than if I only do it during one year? If it's the latter, since Senator is out of my reach, next year I might prioritize some of my other cards...
If you reach 35k miles in 2010 your silver status will be extended till February 2014 but you will only receive a new card in about a year's time (November 2011).
Reaching 35k miles
again in 2011 does not extend your status beyond February 2014.
There are threads in this forum addressing exactly the same question you have raised, e.g.
http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/miles...-per-year.html though it is about SEN requalification.
