Just got upgraded this morning. Now to find a ticket home that's not gonna gouge me too much. I wanna enjoy being Gold at least once, because it's doubtful I'll get there on my own this year. Question though. I'll probably end up with at least 30000 miles this year, so even if I don't fly during the Gold Elite period, will my registering for this get me the end of year 10000 bonus miles?
