I ask this because I am darn impatient to see my first ever status on ANY airline show up.

Yesterday with Grantsc, we bought MKE-ORD-SNA-ORD-MKE and ended up with MKE-ORD-LAX-ORD-MKE, thanks to ORD having a groundstop.
It was not easy, 30 min connection times at ORD and LAX. But we managed.

Now my MKE-ORD-LAX flights posted and now I have 61 stinking miles left to have that Premier status show up on my account. But my LAX-ORD-MKE flights have not posted.

Can you believe my first ever status on any airline comes with UA and on a mileage run?

Thanks
