I would request the name change for MP, because the last name and first initial has to match for them to automatically credit the mile and recognize the status. Still, you can retroactively send in the stubs, but that's a pain.

That's strange - my sig. other has a JR designation on the profile as well, but never had any issue when the ticket is just FIRST/LAST. perhaps he should change his MP profile to FIRST JR/LAST - which is i think what my sig. other did.
