They categorically refused to do anything so... I would suggest to cross 50,000 and not expect anything from them !
a few years ago with Alaska I was about that close to status and they bumped me up.
they had a written policy of people being something like within 500 miles you would attomatically bump you. If you were farther away you could buy status like being say 500-2000 miles would cost say $100.
