Thanks for getting that one
mk92. You're correct, the system does process updates Sat night/early Sun morning. If a pax were to pass 50K YTD base miles on 12/19/02, then they'd see Gold Medallion status on their acct on the morning of 12/22/02 (e.g.while logged into delta.com).
But remember....as soon as you make that 60th flt, or pass the 50K base mile mark, your upg window automatically chgs to 72 hrs (same thing for *PM*...don't wait until the weekend update; start upgrading right away!). So if you have any future flts planned, go ahead and get waitlisted and/or confirmed for them (w/in your new 72 hr window).
Enjoy the *GM* status...it's a lot different than *FO*.
