As others have stated, it came with the 15k miles/18 segments caveat.
In the body of the response, it was mentioned that my status was effective "January 9". I realize I may be asking for speculation, but I flew 7 segments from 1/10 to 1/18 and I'm curious if those will count against my 18. I would assume so given the start date of the match, but I was wondering if anyone else had run into this and would be able to verify?
Thanks!
I can answer my own question (hope that's allowed), in case it comes up for anyone else. Received an e-mail response from MP Customer Relations this morning indicating as part of backdating the status match, they will indeed count flown segments as well as credit elite bonus RDMs from the start date.
