I was CO Platinum for several years (earned with BIS miles) then switched to AA four years ago and have been AA EXP ever since. Naturally I lost my status on CO. I want to switch back to CO and have the first flight set for Jan. 1. From this thread I understand that CO will likely comp me back to PLT, and that if I request the status now, they will do through Feb. 2007. Retaining it next year won't be a problem. My questions are:

1. Will they accept a faxed request that includes the documentation mentioned on page 1 of this thread?
2. If so, what is the fax number?
3. Will it matter that I was PLT before and jumped ship?
4. Will it matter that year to date I have zero mileage on CO?

Thanks,
Alex
