So basically buy the annual pass (get 9600 points) and then whatever I need to get for the remaining?
Unfortunately, no. The fine print says the 20k have to be earned between today and the end of the promo, so the miles we've already earned don't apply.
I tried registering and get this error
Error: Bonus code doesn't exist. [NF20KPLAT
I got the same thing. I initially thought it's because I'm already Platinum, but it's more likely just something broken in their IT.
** EDIT **
Not to mention, I flew almost every other weekend this year, with some long flights (MCO - DEN, MCO - DFW, etc.) and still only accumulated about 9k miles all year. Getting 20k between now and April is a BIG ask.
