YS on X-days is well above GS in the coverage ladder. So if you are close, but GS aren’t near your seniority yet, it’s much better than having to buy a trip.
Depending on how much time you have left, and if you have gotten the extension, you might wait for the GS and kill 2 birds with one stone. But buying a trip sux.
