Continental seems to be matching to one tier lower than the submitted one now. I took care of all the 'paperwork' for my brother and father, my brother was immediately matched from DL Gold to CO*G on June 3. My dad however, whose request I sent on June 9 or so, was granted CO*S at first. I then replied, since my dad also has an LH FTL and another *S does not really offer any more benefits, some ten minutes later status changed to CO*G ^ So watch out and be persistent maybe
