I know I fly enough so that I will continually be a DM... Let's say I re-qualify and get my mid-tier benefits within 9 months (the 4 bookable upgrades)... If I reset it then, and re-qualify again and get my mid-tier benefits in 9 months time... that means effectively I would have received 8 bookable upgrades within the span of 1.5 years.. instead of the usual 2 years... Unless you have a reason to keep earning tier points over the amount you need for the mid tier benefits, I don't see any reason why one should do that...
