I'm considering delaying upgrading until after January 17. Have any other NAF cardholders who are considering upgrading to Ascend thought about waiting until after January 17 to upgrade?

I only just applied for and received the NAF card a few days ago. Working on required spend for the signup bonus (stalking airfares at the moment). Once those points hit my account, I plan to upgrade to Ascend.
