Several years ago I was comped two years in a row to DL Silver status. I was also comped once to UA Premier Exec and have had multiple year comps to AA's mid-level Platinum. I'm not counting the same status comp AA gave me last year. I did not think this was a once-in-a-lifetime event. Did policies change on this? I'm sure the potential revenue based on travel patterns as seen on other airline statements can override any one-time restriction.
