Thank you in advance for your help. It's due to this forum that I've gotten status this year!

Are you suggesting they give you an exit row seat when 150 miles short of Gold, and deprive someone with Real elite status or a someone with a full fare ticket or Aanytime award, from obtaining the seat?
Wait just over 24 hours before the flight, then call.
If there are no seats at that point, then they went to the people who are supposed to sit there.
