Note that I had to have my MP # removed and reenetered for all my itineraries made before my status upgrade to reflect my new status. Although people often post that you don't have to do that anymore, that's not my experience. My gf moved up in status about 2 months ago, and the same happened with her. I had to remove/readd her MP # to reflect her new status on itineraries made before the status upgrade.
My travelling companion qualified for 1P while in SYD last weekend. Definitely NO need to remove/reenter the MP number -- the return BP just printed out PR EXEC. In fact, the only way we knew the outbound miles had posted was due to the status upgrade. (Too cheap to pay $27.50 for internet at the hotel just to check MP.)
