Welcome to Flyertalk!
If you're arguing over status for 2002, I don't think it's really worth your while; I'd concentrate on making Premier for 2003.
If you can point to current year-to-date flight activity that puts you on track for Premier or PremEx for 2003, maybe that'd be worth a fax/phone call. But, honestly, life is too short. There's only five months left in 2002.
By the way, you might have better luck posting in the United forum down below.
Cheers
