I'm 1K and so is my wife. We have flown every segment of the last four years together. Some of our trips to Colombia were on Copa, but most were on United through Houston, connecting to Copa or Avianca.

She received her invitation as Presidential Platinum on the first day of the rollout. She is a Colombian citizen. I have not yet received an invitation. I am a US citizen.

I'm not sure if citizen or gender has anything to do with the method of invites. But everything else is identical. Perhaps it is just random? Or perhaps by last name? She kept her maiden name, which starts with a B. I am further down the alphabet chain as an R.

Who knows?!?!? Or does it even matter....
