Thanks, I'd rather hope it doesn't take 7 days to credit the miles and that the 'upgrade' to Gold will happen immediately - though from what you say that sounds unlikely.

It's unfortunate that I was credited with zero miles having upgraded with plusgrade last week (a known issue) - as my reliance on quick crediting of miles this journey wouldn't have been such an issue.

I'll contact the service centre after my flight but unfortunately don't hold out much hope given past experiences - I stand to be surprised...
