Common question this time of the year -- unfortunately at this point, cost is going to be non-optimal

A consideration will be if Silver is worth to you the cost (my guess you will be look at above $200 and likely more at this point).

Second -- do you purchased the PQMs or do you do a mileage run (perhaps cheaper but takes time) at this point?

pros/cons of those choices are debated in http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/unite...us-thread.html (focus on 2013 posts)
