I think this question was answered in this thread, but just to confirm...the miles/segments accrued during the "calendar year" count towards status but you still can Buy Up until the end of the "program year" in Feb correct?
I'm just a few segments short of plat and don't know if the fight home yesterday will post before the end of December. It looks like I can still buy up those last two segments I need next week, right?
