Jaws: I'm still waiting for my new Platinum card from CO (my best guess is mid-April).
But this morning I did get a lovely letter from CO advising that they were introducing a "new Platinum level next year" (1999) and if I "flew 75,000 qualifying miles by 31st December 1998," I would qualify.
It is nice to see that CO's communications to European members are as timely as ever.
