I had been hoping to use 20 of them to upgrade a flight I had booked to Paris in late Jan, but since they were a no show, I used miles instead. Today I called again and was now told that my Premier Platinum status would end on Jan 31, and I would go down to Silver?? The rep was adamant that I would not be receiving any points and that my status would go down. I asked to speak with a supervisor, and after a long hold, the same rep came back on to say, yes I would remain Premier Platinum Lifetime and would receive my PP 40 after Jan 31.
I guess that's what you call a human glitch, getting Bonvoyed, poorly trained staff, or just plain old poor service. Only your persistence saved you.
