I know the answer to this is probably no, but is there anybody who has or knows of someone who got comped a level higher than their current on status on another airline. I'm will be gold on aa through a challenge by august and have enough flights coming up to complete plt challenge in Nov./Dec. However, I'd rather fly united since it serves my hometown airport. Since it sounds like united is requiring people to do challenge-like runs to keep their comped status, do you think I would have a shot at getting comped to premier, but then put on their 90 day premier exec. challenge? I know this is a long shot, but I'd rather not fly another 10,000mi. on aa to get plt. and then wait to get comped to premier exec. on united next year. What do you guys think? Should I even submit this request?
