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*)? ...
Oh I see what you're saying now. If you think your 3/31/12 EQM total plus your 2011 flying will get you to 50 then I think you'll be good. That will get you status for the 2012 year (expires early 2013).
