Emailed in my request for CO to match my AA Plat (which already goes through 2/10) at 11:53 and received responding email, with match, at 12:47. 54 minutes! I used onepass at coair.com.

The email kept me in suspense, but when I logged in I found they had made me Gold. No expiration date that I can see - I guess I'll have to wait for the mailed packet. I'm hoping it is also through all of 2009.
