So, my experience should be the same as Mrs. bobblevin's experience if the supposed to be corrected for 2008 did get corrected? Good to know.
To the OP, I'd call OPSC, explain that this trip will qualify you and that you want to make sure that it credits before your return flight and see if they will advance you the status. If explained politely and with the qualifying ticket in the near future this approach is often successful.
I didn't think they would be willing to do that, but I suppose it doesn't hurt to ask. If nothing else, it'll get me more info on how to make sure the SE status kicks in on the return.
Thanks guys!
EDIT: I called. It looks like I still need to call after the mileage is posted. And no luck on getting the status advanced. Oh well.
