Suggestions on getting comp early?

My girlfriend just started flying UA this year and has already booked 26,000 miles worth of tickets for Jan & Feb (for work related travel). She will probably make 1K this year with the amount of traveling she is doing, but currently she has no status.

Does anyone have any suggestions on how I can get her comped early? Sometimes I take her to the airport and she has to stand in the normal line for check-in and having been a 1K or PremEx for a while, it does take getting use to waiting with her in that line.

I also want to give her some of my paper 500 mile certs but know that without any status there is no chance for her to use them.

She had written a letter to UA but they declined. Any suggestions or should she just wait?
