PE or not PE..that was my question.

I was 5k short of PE but had NCL-AMS-IAH and return booked. This should have taken me to about 80K on status and 125k award. On return, checked on line to find the outward leg of the trip actually posted,(5.5k) BUT absolutely no difference in award or status mile totals, which still showed both levels at pre IAH trip. Phoned elite desk but couldn't get any reply so called usual FD HD who told me I was in fact now PE. Being used to the ways of FD I phoned the automated account no. to find that on that database I had barely made GE still needed 24k status to reach PE and had only accumulated 73k award miles???

So in the space of 5 min found that I was only just GE, still 5k short of PE, and had made PE.... (hence the first line of my post).

Plus ca change

Exraf (PE maybe)
