This would not be a published feature of a program, because the qualification threshold would not be known until the year ended. Nonetheless it happens, many years ago Delta promoted me to the next level of their program even though I was somewhat short of the published mileage. The letter explained that the decision was based on the amount I had flown versus others in Miami. I believe they did the same for my wife another year.
