So to clarify, if I hit silver next month - when will it expire? If I hit Gold by March, how long will it last?

NYC-PHX-ANC-PHX-NYC is 9,410 RT.  2 RTs would give 18,820, or just 180 miles short of *G until 12/31/2015
$565 per RTx2 RTs=$1,130

Jan 23 4:12pm-12:49am +1
Jan 24 1:50am-4:57pm

Alaska MR DO?

As long as you hit silver after 1/1/12, your status should last until 1/1/15

Nice! I'm headed out TLV-ZRH-JFK on LX in S so that will earn silver and some 2,500 extra miles toward Gold (hard to believe it took 25k on CO this year to get the same status that can be earned on Aegan with just 1 segment!)...with the return in L, I will be 1/3 of the way to *G...I sure hope this works....:)

Can anyone confirm that if you earn Blue (*S) in middle of a flight that the remainder of the flight (once you hit 4K and your counter resets) counts toward *G?
Chaikel can you ask your friend?

Good question...if not...I for example would lose 2,600 appx.

i.e.

My account has 1k miles...plus...1800 from TLV-ZRH =2,800....ZRH-JFK is appx. 3800 miles which either will get me *S plus 2,600 toward *G or it would just reset and I would need a 'fresh' 16k to earn Gold...hopefully someone with experience can tell us...

I'm not trying to flatter, but with DDF I never even try FT as the good deals eventually get posted here....if you want to post it...go right ahead...

Found this on FT...sounds like you should be fine.

"The miles don't reset when you hit blue so your total mileage for the year all counts towards gold."

Don't you have something like 18 months from when you hit silver to hit gold?
