The 40K is to reach Diamond level in Asiana Club, which is the equivalent to *A Gold. If you did 40K in the first year of the 2-year qualifying period you'd end up with 3 years of *A Gold. If you take the entire 2-year qualifying period to reach 40K, then you'll only get 2 years of *A Gold. But this only goes into effect starting Oct. 1. Before that any miles earned will fall under the old rules.
