I requested and received a status match from UA 1K to AS MVP Gold in August. Since then, I have flown nearly every week from LAS-PDX. I am not going to make MVP Gold for 2006 based on my miles. The matched status expired on 12/31/05. I called the Customer Service number on the back of my card and they told me to call back in late December and they will review my flight pattern to determine if they will give me MVP Gold for 2006 anyway... Everyone cross your fingers for me...
