Made it to Prem. Exec. on my connecting (and final) segment flight of the year on Dec. 26th. Got listed as Prem Exec and credited with a 100% bonus for that flight only within 72 hours on my MP account. ^ and ^.

Got my new Prem Exec. MP *Gold card in the mail today. ^

It shows 2011 membership and expiration of 1-31-12.

While not completely unexpected (since I've seen other FT posts of a similar nature this week) I'm still slightly amused to get a brand new status card in the mail that expires in two weeks! LOL

Anyone know if there is a "Common Sense" department at United where we can send "clues" to?
