The theory being floated is you will only get the SNAs when you "cross" the threshold. Now what IT will implement is unknown, what CSRs will have the ability to do is unknown. I am firmly in the camp to read, read, read all released material before taking any actions.
To the OP, if having the nights as Plat is a goal, then absolutely strive to make Plat in both programs before the end of the year. BUT, do keep current with the posts to find out what happens if you merge your accounts. Just like they haven't stated what happens to your legacy accounts, they haven't stated what benefits merging early will get you.
