Exactly. Basically all you're doing is doing is making it so that when the merger does happen in Q2 the computer won't have to guess to bring together the two accounts. Once they do merge your expiration will likely be based on the latest activity in either account, but if you have a mileage balance expiring before the end of Q2 or even early in Q3 you should be looking to put some activity in the account. Buy an iTunes song via the marketplace or the like; doesn't take much money to generate activity.
