So, assuming you'll stay Gold this year regardless, the question will be whether or not you can earn 75k on the challenge, and if so, if having 75k instead of Gold for 17 months will be worth having used your one challenge.
Good point. I did in fact use a different promotion early this year to get to MVPG for 2023 as I barely flew at all in 2022. I might not even qualify for this, but I do wonder if they really mean "concurrent" status challenges. This status challenge starts January 2024 and I'm guessing if I'm close to 75K in 2023, I'll get a targeted challenge (or buy up) to get to 75K as I have in the past. Either way, 20 segments in 180 days to reach 75K sounds enticing given the typically short segment lengths I fly.
