I agree, Phil. UA just comped me Prem Exec this month, but I have since found out that they seem to have only comped me thru 2000, and that I need to fly 50K by the end of the year to keep it.
If I could rack up 50K in 3 months (and assuming upcoming flights were not already arranged), I would not have needed to be comped. -I was told via e-mail that, at this point in the year, status should be good thru all of next year, and I responded with my faxed AA statement and a letter saying I would not be interested unless that was the case. So much for that! (I am still waiting on a response from UA regarding this.)
(In the same letter/fax I also included my wife's AA statement/card and info. The initial response to my inquiry about me and my wife was to "send us a copy of your wife's statement so we can review her eligibility." It was in the same fax!

) Hello?
