You would then make PM from early year 2 through Feb year 4. The only disadvantage of this (vs the proposed idea) is that you are not PM from late year 1 to early year 2.

The advantage is that it would actually work.
This is my strategy for the next year...rolling over about 65k after hitting Silver MQD next month. Jan 2016: spend $25k and bump to Plat (potentially Diamond) through Jan 2018.
