I have 5000 miles to go for silver status. Can I only get Elite qualifying miles by flying, or can I get a World Perks card and be done with it (bonus points)?</font>
Go for it, especially if you will be flying more enxt year. I made it this year. First year with status ever and I love it. Can't beat the upgrades. Welcome and good luck!!
