Anyone MMers successfully nominated someone to share your lifetime status?

Just want to know what status the one you nominated will get? I'm a 1KMMer, let's say if I nominate my wife, does it mean that she also gets 1KMM benefits even if I don't fly with her? She has no status on MP at the moment. Will she get a 1K MP membership card as well?

Care to share more?

All 2012 Million Milers will be able to share their lifetime status annually with a spouse or significant other.

Starting September 26, 2011, every MileagePlus Million Mile Flyer can go to www.mileageplus.com/thanksamillion to nominate this special person, whose status will take effect with the 2012 MileagePlus program, late in the first quarter of 2012.
