I will have 39,000 EQM at the end of the year. Should I use all of my accumulated 11,000 FEQM I have to reach gold or save to assure I will reach silver next year? I no longer have the Presidential plus so those 11,000 will be all I have. Not sure how much flying I will be doing with United next year...depends on how they use CLE. My airport is serviced by connection airlines of Delta/detroit, Continental/Cle, USair/Phi. Continental always worked well for me
