That's how I got it -- after the CO acquisition by UA -- I became 1K instantly -- but wrote in to get GS review and they said no -- but by next trip I was GS -- This happened in May or June -- but that was so many years ago I hesitate to give you hope -- but reading this forum there have been others that got mid-year invites -- since you are 1k -- keep trying -- I'm guessing they are watching -- and remember -- only UA metal counts for GS...
