i am currently a Green with 271 points, which will expire on Nov 30, 2023.
on Oct 25 I have a flight by AA and I learnt from calculation page that I can get 10points;
On Oct 29, the return flight by AA and I can get another 10 points. When booking with AA, I already included my Cathay flyer number.

On Nov 5, I will fly from SFO to HKG with Cathay, I will turn 60 points. But I already used my flyer number when booked my return flights between HK and SF.

on Nov 10, i will fly to Melbourne, I will earn 32 points.

I learnt if I now use 60 points and upgrade to silver, all points will be zero, thus wasting a lot of points.

can you give me some advise on how to maximize the use of the potential points? Thank you!!!
1 Remove CX FF # from AA flights
2 Fly AA flights and keep BPs
3 Remove CX FF # from SFO HKG
4 Fly CX SFO HKG and keep BP

Nov 10 fly HKG MEL with CX FF
Your 32 TPs should credit Nov 11
You become CX SL

Retroactively claim AA flights and SFO HKG flight, you will end up with 80 TPs before returning from MEL.
