I'm going to go over the hump tomorrow morning from silver to gold and I'm wondering when that change in status will actually take effect. I'm flying AUS-IAH-PHL on Wednesday 8/13 and I'd love to have a shot at that three day upgrade. However, if the flights don't post until Sunday or Monday, I'll miss out on the opportunity. So does the status take effect when the flights actually post to my online account OR when the flights are actually completed?
Thanks for the input...
I ran into this last year. I made the hump on the outbound portion of a flight. I was in SFO for over a week. I checked online before my return, and my status had changed, but, the status on my ticket was still Silver, and the gate agent couldn't change it. So, I would definitely call once you see the status change to make sure the reservation is updated.
