I'm sure the severe weather in Chicago isn't helping matters today either.
Almost 100% certainty that the sending and receiving of these emails has not yet finished by any means. Mass emailing potentially millions of people is no small task, this is broken up into smaller parts and requires a lot of computing power.
I first overheard an EP in the JFK FL telling his wife how he got 7,500 miles about 5 hours ago. Low and behold my email just arrived.
For what it's worth, I ended up cancelling my ticket yesterday after 4 hours and no end in sight and putting a new itinierary on hold for today. I thought also I may not have qualified for the automated mileage compensation since I ended up cancelling and leaving the airport. It would seem every elite ticketed to fly at some point yesterday, regardless of other factors, received or is going to receive the email.
