2. People who've gotten the offer refer to waiting for 500-mile upgrades to show in their accounts. With Plat Pro, while I have the status will it just say unlimited for me, will there be a certain number I can use for my companion, or will those need to be purchased? However unfair it may be, in the upgrade queue I'll be ahead of Platinum and Gold who've flown more?
