How does that work as I am almost in teh same situation. I am about 2,000 status miles shy of elite for this time period. I could do a run and get them before mid november, but I will not have many flights at the end or beginning of the year. Although if I had to, I could get the needed points by the end of February.

If i wanted to do it before the end of February, other than mid November, will I hold elite status for 2 years? February 2005 to February 2006 to February 2007?

confused on that last part.
