OP is exempt from PQD requirements, non- US address.
Hopefully his wife had some good reasons to fly in Jan. and they possibly looked for very cheap fares. Sounds like OP knows what he is doing for his needs and it is jumping to conclusions that OP is not attached into the program.
She earns 1K status in Jan 2015 good until Jan. 31,2017...two full years.
Of course, if she had spread that travel around an additional month, she'd still get status for 23 months, with the only "penalty" having to do the Feb travel as a Plat rather than 1K...
...I guess I just don't see the value in trying to cram 100k miles into one single month... it it so you can not fly at all in 2016 and still keep status?
