I currently have 19K EQMs, 1K Flex EQM, and I have a trip coming up frpm PIT-IAH giving me about 1K EQM. Thus I will have about 21K EQM by end of the year. Now, if I buy additional miles on my ticket it costs me $135 for 4,468 (triple) miles. But my return trip is on Jan 2 from IAH to PIT.
1) if I buy these triple miles will I become Silver Elite on Continental for 2012? i.e. will these additional miles get added to my account instantly or will they be added after I complete the trip? ...
The extra miles will post in a few hours (does not matter the return is in 2012) BUT from the price -- this appears to be the RDM option -- not EQMs.

these are the EQMs and added to your 21K EQMs will get you Silver status for 2012.
