Refer to my original posted, I've got my diamond card today, 8 days after completed 120000 miles, my account started at 0, now it proved that we can get the status soon after we reach the qualify miles. But we have to be aware that we have to make careful calculation so that we won't spoil the extra miles, i.e. if you hve 190000 miles, just take a short flight to reach 120000.
