[QUOTE=ijgordon;6782540]I don't know what these people who claim to be successful said to the reps on the phone, but my experience is that it won't happen. I had actually FLOWN the segment that would advance me to Gold, a r/t JFK-CDG on Air France, but due to some fluke, the outbound never posted. Not only wouldn't CO advance my Gold Status, they wouldn't even accept my proof of travel to manually post the miles until a 30-day period elapsed. I called several times and got the same answer.

I am taking a LAX-PVD MR next week. I am flying a lot this month and I wanted to attain Gold Elite status prior to my LAX-CLE-EWR & EWR-DTW-LGW (NW) trips later this month. I am travelling these segments with my significant other & wanted the hope of a companion upgrade on the domestic legs of the trip. Some people are addicted to crack - I, on the other hand, am addicted to flying.
