Just to go back to my original post - I did end up getting the gate UG for my 6:30AM DTW-DCA flight this morning.

For my tript to DEN tomorrow morning, DCA-MSP-DEN & DEN-MSP-DTW-DCA on the 16th, I'm waitlisted for the 8:45AM DCA-MSP & I'm traveling with 2 others who I was hoping to Plat companion UG at least one of them tomorrow AM. It's showing P0 F1, so I'm not sure that I'll clear, but I'm sure that none of my companions will. I'm going to ask at the club if any Golds/Silvers cleared as I've seen that before when traveling with a Gold friend of mine, he cleared & I didn't clear til the gate.

My return flights for MSP-DTW-DCA didn't clear (though DEN-MSP did). They are currently showing P5 F5 & P3 F3, respectively - so hopefully those will clear at the gates too. Unfortunately, I'm staying in a rented condo & won't have my laptop. Too bad NW hasn't enabled online checkin from crackberries yet - that'd help me at least check-in to get on the UG list in time.

thezipper, if you're reading this, you may get a phone call from me on the 15th asking you to check me in!
