I requested a CO status match a couple of weeks ago, mailed the letter, blah blah blah..

So last weekend on my way back from an AA MR (I wasn't going to AA re-qualify b/c of the status match but I decided last minute after reading CO's forum and how difficult is to get updgraded as a CO Gold), I got home and saw the official welcome to the CO Elite Program, they matched me as a Gold, so I was happy about that.

However, the card says it's valid till Feb'08. Does that make sense? How do they expect me to requalify in less than 20 days? Technically I would have till 12/31 to requalify, right? I thought that they would comp me till Feb'09 like many FTers say.

Anyone with the same situation?
