Does anyone know of a way to get status based on "promised" future travel? I work for a very large consulting firm and we partner with all of the airlines and would hope they would accomodate. Has anyone ever heard of this practice?
Thanks!
In addition to all the suggestions above:

You can get status NOW before any travel ... via one more way ......

.. if someone who is PM gifts you Silver status

or

.... someone who is DM gifts you GM status.
