I could do a mileage run, but where I am confused is with this notion of having until March 31st of the next year to apply Flex EQM's retroactively.
The website seems to suggest that if by March 15th, 2012, I have enough EQM's to trade in to get me to 50,000 (appended to my 2011 accrual), then I will get gold status through --- what, I can't tell.. Is it gold status through 1/31/13, or through 12/31/13? ...
Ie, does it make sense to get to Silver as quickly as possible this year by cashing in flex eqm's when flown + flex = 25k (rather than just let my 15k flown miles from 2011 be *worthless*)? ...
