yes, it took 3 calls from them to upgrade me as Elevate Gold from MC to MCS, but they said it was a "one time" courtesy upgrade in appreciation of my business

Some of this still just doesnt make sense, and the other posters are correct, the folks at the Gold desk dont seem to know what the rules are, policies, or how they work

And, if anyone can tell me where the "Opt In" check box is when booking a ticket, I would love to see it.

i have done sample bookings and I just dont see one. Anywhere.
