From what I understand, people have contacted the OPSC and confirmed this.
I just came here to post this!
here is the letter I got
Dear Mr. MOEBOD:
Thank you for contacting the OnePass Service Center.
Congratulations! You have been awarded Platinum Elite status in the OnePass
program. This will make your travel with us comfortable, simple and more
rewarding than ever.
Your status will be effective for 90 days, from January 14, 2011 through April
30, 2011. To remain a Platinum Elite member through the current Elite year, you
will need to fly 35,000 flight miles or 40 flight segments on qualifying flights
within the 90-day period. Qualifying flights must be operated by Continental,
Continental Express, Continental Connection, United® or United Express® with a
Continental or United flight number and credited to the member's OnePass
account. Flights operated by Continental or United that have a partner’s
codeshare flight number and flights operated by any other airline do not
qualify.
If you meet the above required flight miles or segment threshold, your account
will be updated with Platinum Elite status and an Elite membership kit will be
mailed to you in 4-6 weeks. Until your card arrives, be sure to add your OnePass
number to your reservations so you will receive your Elite benefits.
