Me thinks that I may have to wait until after June or July of 2011 as those seem to be the months people report getting the additional year and then it may be good through Feb 2013. Thoughts? I do have a CO flight in March so may not wait that long to find out.
I believe that you have to wait until June to do the match to get status through all of 2012. At least that's what was determined this year - there was some confusion in the thread, but in the end I think that was the conclusion.

I asked in a CO thread when people think would be the latest you could match and still have it be invisible to UA, but I don't have a reply yet, and of course it would all be guesswork anyway. I'm hopeful that it will still work in June 2011.
