I'm a NW WP Gold who has rarely flown CO since it adopted the 50% EQMs, but I am ticketed on a mid-con to IAH this Saturday evening - if ever there's a chance for a sub-Plat Elite to get upgraded, it's got to be Saturday night non-trans-con!

Here's my question: the booking on Continental.com displays my name in a somewhat strange fashion: assume my name is John Q. Public --- the record is displaying my name as "JohnQ Public" with no space before the "Q". I'm worried about the EUA process matching names and working or not (I know NW's EUA process is very specific about names matching).

Is this the usual format? (I'm sure I did not book it this way, but a CO reservation agent had to modify my record last month due to a schedule change resulting in a 1.5 hour misconnect in IAH).

ExpertFlyer is showing A9 and the seat map shows just 4 in the "preferred" (Ha-ha) coach seating area (not surprising for a Saturday night), but I'm concerned about that name match issue. Presumably I would be eligible for EUA some time today, but I don't know exactly when it runs at CO.

Thanks in advance.
