I doubt that you will really get instant Elite status and all the benefits associted with it, including the 15 and 30K certs. As far as I know, October 31 is a hard and fast rule.

However, I do know that last year when I qualified for Prestige, I was able to make seat selections in the Elite section of the plane before I was officially given my Prestige Status on March 1/06. Maybe that is what is happening to you?
