P.P.S. If you had actually bought $50k worth of tickets I could understand your frustration. But at this point you have $0 loyalty to reward, and certainly don't deserve GS any more than a real 1K who has earned it with BIS miles. So accept the very nice gift of status that you have received - or fly elsewhere. No sympathy here.
Huh? Perhaps it was the 6 weeks since my post and/or you didn't bother to read my posts. I wasn't asking for GS.
I was reporting my experience, specifically that after two CS reps were either too stupid to know the facts or just lied to me, I finally got an answer... no status match for EXPs. Was it that difficult to tell me? As for the supposed wonderful gift of Platinum, I flew one SFO-DEN roundtrip (upgraded to First) and won't be back any time soon. Indeed, I flew Frontier Y on our last trip and it was more enjoyable.
