So now I am silver as of this month. I have a flight in August which will earn 13k miles and another in December earning 13k miles. I think that I will miss out on gold by a few days as the 20k earned in November 2021 will drop out of the calculation (should have booked it a few days earlier!). Is that right?

Is there any chance SQ will give me an extension of a few days from the end of November (the flight leaves 1 December, arrives 2 December) as BA will?

If I don't earn any more miles, then silver will be renewed to Feb 2024 due to the status extension recently announced. Then the 26k miles earned in the year to Feb 2023 will be carried forward and will give me silver to Feb 2025. Is that correct?
You earned Silver in November 2021 and your status is good till end of November 2022.

The goodwill extension in March will extend your Silver to November 2023 and your Gold qualification is now 24 months from November 2021 to November 2023.

You don't need a grace period to make Gold. You will be automatically Gold after your flight in December 2022.

Enjoy!
