I don't book 11 months out either. But I suppose if you really want to make sure, you need to monitor it for 11 months and be ready to change. If all you do is keep your money in a 0.1% interest checking account, I suppose the savings is more keeping credits with UA.
I usually have google let me know. Ofcourse if I feel like making 1K will be a stretch, maybe I don't check so I can't see how much extra I'm paying to keep my status.
