Elite Qualification
 
Is there any possibility that CO would still maintain my Silver Elite status with a shortage of 2851 miles this year? Due to travel cut backs and having to use partial credit partners I may land short this rather small amount.
Any experience regarding this situation?

Do a mileage run, a quick hop to EWR ought to do it.

I wouldn't risk CO not giving you status.

There is a 0% chance that CO will round you up to Silver with that big a deficiency. Plan a mileage run accordingly.

Agree with all. Don't chance it. Even if they do offer you a buy up, it may be as much (or more than) a milage run flight. Look around for a good deal.

I just scheduled an MR and when doing my calculations I was going to be short like 81 miles for plat. So I decided that I was going to fly out of AUS to get the extra miles. :D

You've got to do an MR.

MR to CMH or PIT
 
I think CMH or PIT gives a decent MR price and you can do same day turn.
