Borderline Gold with long international flight....question.
I might be flying from WAS to JNB the middle of Oct...right now I'm 1500 miles short of gold. If I were to book a quick MR for next week...that would give under two weeks before the long trip. I have just a few questions for the gurus around here:
1> would the extra bonus miles still apply if Gold is earned so close to the flight?
2> Flying a code-share (Air France), do you need the skymiles CARD to get lounge access? (Worried that the card will not show up before the trip)
