I made 1K the hard way (actually flying 100 segments) by June and thought, can't hurt to ask, well, aside from thank you for your business and look forward to your 2 SWU's when you cross 125 and 150, the standard response of you'll get them next year was absolutely consisent, even after speaking to a supervisor in mileage plus (who was surprised that I was able to get her direct number).
I did indeed get the 2 when I hit 125 and an additional 2 at 150. I'm now wondering if there is any benefit to go higher this year. Anyone know if there are additional hidden perks at 175 or 200K?
