Thanks. So does this mean that if I earn 30,000 miles and my wife earns 28,000 miles and we both contribute 100% into our Family Account we will each have 30,000 tier miles and therefore achieve Silver status. At the same time our Family Account has 58,000 Skywards miles which can be used to upgrade my wife and/or my flights. Is this understanding correct?
And the 30,000 miles and 28,000 miles contribution going into the Family Account do accumulate to 58,000 Skywards miles total without any loss, right?
