The same applies for becoming a Gold member. Your coupons will reset and you will have 4 coupons on your account. If you re-qualify before expiry, you will still have 4 coupons as they do not accumulate.
If you have the chance to do so , it is advised to use your coupons before upgrading to Gold or before re-qualifying your tier.
I think I'm misunderstanding your post. Yes, I agree that Silver members should use their coupons before trying to hit Gold, since they expire (unfortunately) when moving up statuses. But, are you saying that if you don't use your coupons before
requalifying for Silver/Gold, they'll expire once you hit the required Tier Miles? That makes no sense. AFAIK, the new coupons are deposited when your membership year resets, regardless of when you actually requalified.
