I actually had America West match my CO Platinum status. However when I found out that they do not upgrade spouses prior to day of departure, I decided that in the meantime to continue to use my CO number and status (I am not about to upgrade myself 3 days before and then take chances for my wife!). I'm still bummed that America West will no long accept the CO President's Club card after September, but life is not fair. And besides, it looks like CO pulled the plug on this relationship.
