Sounds good, and I think that's what I'm going to do.

If I want to avoid the change fees (post 24 hrs, pre 60 days) and I am not Gold/75k, is it possible to do so? I see an option to cancel the ticket and apply the value to a future reservation, but that would incur change fees. If I plan to make Gold next year, could I cancel this ticket, make gold, then use this ticket's funds toward the value of a future ticket to avoid the change fee (as I would then be gold in 2019)?

Thanks!
