i'm pretty sure you can call the mileage plus center and have it adjusted if the additional multiplier makes that huge of a difference to you, that is:
you fly saturday 1000 miles (qualify for gold)
you fly sunday 9000 miles
sunday miles post monday at the silver multiplier (getting you gold)
saturday miles post tuesday at the gold multiplier
you want sunday miles to post at the gold level and understand saturday miles will post at silver value.
yeah gl explaining that succinctly to them. let us know the result cause i never bothered doing this
That’s my situation. I’ll try calling once everything posts. It will be worth a few thousand miles so that’s enough for me to bother.
