UA comp in four days
Faxed my NW Platinum credentials to the Mileage Plus office on Friday (using the fax number listed in this thread) and my (status-less) UA account was showing Premier Executive on the following Monday. I also received a confirmation email from an exclusive email account - (status match email title here)@united.com confirming the upgrade in status.
I am moving back to Sydney next Spring and really have no choice but to switch back to *Alliance, despite two fantastic years of flying as a Japan-based NW Gold and Platinum Elite.
