This site is the greatest thing since sliced bread! I've had the misfortune to fly a total of 30 segments and have 20k actual miles and 40k total miles right now (year to date) on US Air alone. I'm silver the hard way. For reasons I don't understand, my husband got silver before he was due and then virtually no time later, got gold. We assume it's a computer glitch. Is there anything you can think of I could ask for (challenge, etc) that could get me gold sooner? I expect to have nine segments and about 3000 miles next week, with a clt-san trip the 11th for another 4000 miles and 2 segs, and then i'm not sure what's up but something will be.. how many miles would be in a typical challenge? Am I the sort that's interesting to them? I've never traveled a huge amount before this job, but I will now. I also have gold w/ AA based on spreading the miles around. They had some kind of challenge I only had to fly 6000 miles to get gold till next feb and a free ticket. Any ideas?

There are no "challenges" that I know of right now. There was a "Gold Challenge", but it ended at the end of May. (That's how I got my US Gold status!) http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
In your situation, I'd fax the following items to the Dividend Miles Silver Preferred Service Centre:
1) Cover letter kindly requesting an upgrade to Gold status based on your Gold status with AA and your planned future flight activity on US Airways.
2) A copy of a recent AA mileage statement to confirm your Gold status on AA.
3) A copy of your upcoming US Airways reservations to show them you're already committed to flying a lot with them in the future, and that you will probably make Gold on US later this year anyways.
Best of luck to you! Gold is great on US. I did a one-day mileage run to qualify for the Gold challenge and it's been well worth it...can't beat the double miles and far better upgrade success compared with Silver. Good luck to you!! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/smile.gif
