It won't be until early spring but I want to use my GUC for my wife and me for a 14 hour flight so want to get them before they are no longer available. Getting to Diamond again with the new system will be close, that is why I was thinking about trying to delay the actual card purchase but I probably should just book the flight so I can get that upgrade.
