Close to Silver
Gents,
I just did the calculation for the rest of the year and it looks like I am going to be short about 500 miles short of Silver. I will have a confirmed round-trip ticket from NYC to Dubai though in the second week of January. Will they bump me to Silver even if I am short by 500 at the end of December?
Regards,
William

I can confirm that.
I personally know two people (one is immediate family) who have both been upgraded to the next level.
One was upgraded to silver and the other one to gold. Both have been <1000 miles short for the next level.
It was done automatically without them asking for it.
