Purchase by 11/28/23 to earn Elite Silver Status!
One interesting thing for those chasing status: Normally, the status offers I've seen (such as the latest status match) give the status directly with 0 status qualifying miles as part of it, so if you have 45k status miles and matched to Elite 50k, you'd still only have 45k status miles and not 95k (and 5k away from 100k). Per the terms (
Very bottom of this page; I copied them below),
you don't get silver status directly but 10,000 status miles so that you will be awarded silver status in 2024. So
this **should** mean that if you expect to be within 10k status miles by the end of the year, getting this GoWild pass during the silver promotion will put you into the next tier and could be the part that convinces you to buy this.
I'm assuming these are just status miles and not also the miles you can redeem for flights, but could be wrong. This is also likely a one-time setup because silver status doesn't exist yet and this reduces the manual processing needed in 2024.
