Down the drain?
You're *G with A3. Crediting miles there increases your redeemable balance and also puts you in a better position to keep elite status than people who hit the qualifying minimum and just use the benefits.
Ok, not down the drain then but since I'm aiming for EBG also it feels very unnecessary to collect more miles to A3 this year. For sure I will credit miles to A3 every now and then later on.
