JAWS, I'm the first to admit I'm confused. If she achieved silver last year, she'd automatically be bumped to new gold, which is less than new platinum, but both new gold and new platinum can upgrade one companion. I don't know if Northwest Silver's get the same upgrade. I felt just saying Gold was the safest thing.

Also, if it's a CO "pack" space available certificate, they usually expire a year from receipt, so it depends. I am clueless if CO certificates are good on Northwest or visa versa.

My limited conversations with operators / agents on the CO priority hotline so far this year seems to prove out the fact that no one has a clue what is going on, as most of the time they see if they can make some case for what I'm asking for (you once were a gold, but you will be platinum, but not till March, but you're flying after March, but the program changed so we don't do that anymore, so....just tell me what you want and we'll do it).

So I'm not the only one confused.
