Since I thought that the OP number array is two letters and five numbers, wonder if status-matched spouses of MMers get an added letter "C" to segregate them in the MileagePlus record system???
UA Insider has mentioned the 8 char field will be a full 8 alphanumeric code.
I think this was needed given the population limitations of the 2/6 appraoch.

My spouses new account code is also three letters and 5 numbers, but none is the letter "C"

interesting note: for her account there is an offer to buy-up to Silver ($1,846). We will probably skip that since she should inherit my 1K status in a few weeks.
