NW must not be giving anything. I have sent two letters asking for match to Silver till March 05. I have heard nothing not even an e-mail. I am plat on AA in Dallas. You would think NW would love to have me. I buy Y and B tickets. I am within 48 hours of booking two trips to NRT. I guess I can earn the miles the hard way but it would be nice to get some type of reponse back from NW.
