Alternatively, I would call Customer Service and see if they would grant you Gold considering you will attain it before crossing Montana in a few weeks. It is worth a try, the least they can do is say no. If you don't ask, then it is DEFINITELY a no!
Alaska has bent over backwards for me so many times. It is what keeps me coming back. Even as an MVPG75K, I have been amazed how above and beyond they have gone for me, wildly exceeding expectations.

Did call in and ask if they could award me 634 or advance the EQM for the flight to get me Gold before, but no such luck.
