Wow. If this is correct, it's definitely worth considering getting the card. As Plat, I'd be second only to paid Plat on the upgrade priority, or rather, post-merger, after GS/GS on award, 1K/1K on award. Even better that sponsored award tix would share my status as Plat on award or 1K on award. Would that apply on day of as well, or would GM on award ticket from 1K account revert back to the bottom or the priority list?
