Is my Gold Challenge Strategy Sound?

Hi Guys,

I've been reading over all the great information that’s been compiled here and I want to go for the gold challenge this year and I want to run this past you guys to see if I can do it.

I have at the moment about 30k miles in my account made up of transatlantic flights I took last year and last week (sadly not in time for me to turn Gold at the years end), my next flight is booked in May on the route MAN - ORD - CID (N Fare, I know I’m cheap) and the points I get from that are a couple 100 short of the 5k needed for winning the gold challenge.

Now my strategy is this can I use my miles I have currently to upgrade the fare from an N Fare to a fare where I get 1 point per mile instead of the 0.50 as I do on my current ticket?

I hope that makes sense!

Thanks.
