Then 1/1/14 have her do the same (assuming...).
I am confused.
I have approximately 102K SW points and am working on reaching the 110K level before the end of the year. Would a better strategy involve waiting until the beginning of next year to reach the 110K level?
If I am reading you correctly, if I qualify this year for a CP, that will just include the remainder of 2011 and all of 2012 (Dec 31,2012) which is approximately 14 months of having CP status. If I wait until January of 2012 to cross the 110K level, are you saying that I would have 24 months of CP status (1-1-2012-12-31-2013) ?
Thanks and I know this would be better posted in the SW forum.
