I learned it the hard way as well.
Been through this before (as you may recall
)
So I called WorldPerks, and the CSR told me, "You're Gold; wadd'ya want me to do?" Naturally, I assumed I was Gold, right?
If we look back at that (those) threads, we see there was a difference of opinion as to whether doing it yourself would work; after all, some of us were told by WP personnel to do it ourselves.
At this point, I'm going to approach the GA sometime before boarding and make sure it's in the computer as Gold. My future bookings have been/will be made after achieving Gold status, so they should be all right (or not ... who knows these days?)
At least I get access to the exit rows, so all I really miss out on is the free booze and the Spinzels. Ah, for the days when First Class was
First Class!
