Surprised at Companion status match
I was well aware of the ability to assign a companion your guaranteed lifetime Premier status after crossing 1MM BIS, but I was not aware that they would also receive your actual status earned in a particular year.
My wife received her kit which I expected to be a Premier kit, but since I am 1K, so too she received a 1K kit, complete with drink chits and luggage tags.
That's cool, although since it is my wife and we usually travel together, I am not sure how much the status will make a difference.
