Yes, understood. that is why my post was "I" need to figure it out 
It is a very hard decision for me as if I do not get to top 20, I will be spending ~3.2 cents per AP miles that I will be getting while I only value AP as 1 cent / mile.
I will be careful to book anything tonight as there are some typo in the T&C:
From the short desc page:
- how can you book it today (May 5) and travel yesterday
and then from both the above and the full T&C, it state by 19:59pm EST. So, you would think this time only apply May 14, but what if they really meant to apply to May 5 as well? So, if I do decide to go for it, I will book it tomorrow to be safe, or at least after 8pm EST tonight (i.e ~2 hours from now)

I feel like I need an extension on the Accelerator Plus badge. I don't have enough time to book flights before the 14th
Unless I can book them while onboard a flight on the 14th...

Yeah, I'm curious, but I think I'm going to book before the 14th.
An extra 25% makes a pretty significant difference for me.

Oh wow I just realized I missed the fact that the Accelerator Plus badge requires a premium cabin. Guess I don't have to book in the next day
