This past year I was Silver with only 4,500 miles shy of making gold. They I didn't make it but they kept me at Silver for 2015. One day I logged in and saw a banner ad that said I could buy my way to Gold. I took the bait and clicked the add. I'm glad I did. They gave me to options to buy up to Gold. The first was to only buy up to to the status and the other was status with PQS and PQD. Both options we a lot less that I thought they were going to get me for. I chose the later option.

Good Luck.
