Flew my 95th segment Wednesday night, and my status changed to SE today - very excited...it has been a goal for quite a while! I did choose the 100% bonus and I'll be keen to see if, as some others have experienced, the benefit is retroactive in place of the previous 50%.
A question for those who have gone through this early qualification before. I believe I've read that it may be worth calling in to flag the status change for some upcoming reservations that were made when I was E? Should I assume that it doesn't change in the AC system automatically?
