My understanding is I sign up for A3 and fly 3000 miles (for a total of 4000 miles, and assuming mileage-earning booking classes and so on) within 1 year.

I am now *S for 12 months from the date I hit the 4000 miles. These miles now expire in 1 year, and I can retain *S if the number of miles in my account never dips below 4000 due to expiry.

Now, I don't want to credit any more miles to A3, so I can put down any FF number on future tickets and just show my *S card while checking in to get bag fees waived.

Is that correct?

Yeah... As long as you are crediting 4k miles per year, you should stay at silver. If you manage to push for Gold, then you'll only need 1 flight per year, not 4k miles - and the miles never expire, so you can actually bank them for an award...
