Thought I would share a few things I learned today. Maybe not news to everyone, but it was to me.

I'll hit SE for next year, but only barely so I called in to double check actual miles that would be credited for my last few flights. During the call I asked about threshold gifts.

When I hit 60K I selected my 5000 AP miles, but also saw that when you hit 90K you get the option of 15,000 miles, however I was told that you only get 3 selections and I would not get that 15,000 miles. I only ever selected 1 threshold gift that I recall. Can anyone confirm this, or did the AP agent not know what they were talking about?

Thanks to FT I also learned that the 5K lower requalification limit only applies to getting 50K, not 100K so I had to plan my legs last minute in a way that gets me the extra miles to hit SE. Don't recall seeing that rules listed anywhere obvious. Thanks FT for saving my ... on that one!

On another note, I was told the sweeps are happening on Dec 4, Dec 14 and Jan 5. I've never really paid too much attention, so I don't know if it's the same every year, but thought I would pass it along. Jan 11, the emails start going out on the last sweep.
