Last yearI earned several hundred thousand miles/points. (an upgraded trip to Italy, two upgraded trips to NYC,I-dines, Amex meeting, Brokerage houses,banks, bonds, purchases, flowers, MR transfers and a general timing of changes)As a result of the MQM from the flights, I then received my first "elite" status. Silver on Delta. Watching this board made me submit it to AirTran for comping. Then I thought why not fax these several pages with a courteous letter to United? United then comped me Premier. I've been thinking of submitting the original pages to all of the airlines asking to be comped. Has anyone had experience with this? Any downsides?
