Has anyone had luck with a manual review of account for GS based on other airlines flying? Two of the routes I flew (and will continue to fly) heavily (3-4x a month) featured 1 cabin UA flights, so I was flying AA/DL, paid F. With the advent of the CR5, both routes now feature 2-cabin on most flights, and I'll gladly shift my business to UA. I have all documentation (AA/DL receipts, and audit of spend). Spend on AA/DL was $27k combined last year. Washington DC based.
I would be very surprised given that they can see Star Alliance and yet do not count that towards GS consideration. GS is meant more as a retention tool once you've demonstrated significant enough spend for them to want to incrementally invest in keeping you vs. a perk to try to win your business if you're not there yet. Again - it's a black box so who knows but that's my intuition.
