For purposes of your calculations as to if it's worth it for you to stretch for 50K, I might also point out that once you hit your "mini" new Premier Executive threshold, you will still only be a Premier for the balance of the year (or until you hit the full 50K) earning only your current Premier 25% status bonus miles (and your already qualified for 25% True Flyer Bonus miles). Again, this is because your "mini" new Premier Executive status does not kick-in until January 1, 2001.
I guess acheiving the full 50K is what makes you a "True Flyer" for the purposes of the True Flyer Bonus.
