vu0219 - you mentioned you see Gold after your OnePass Elite level while online. Out of curiosity, what, if anything, does it say next to "Star Alliance Elite level" (if you even have that line)? I believe not all *Gold perks (like int'l lounge access) are given during the trial period. I barely got my request in before the change and mine shows a new status under both categories. Could be a tell-tale sign of which deal you got.
