Just called United MP. I nominated a friend who was a GM to 3P on March 26th. Got an e-mail confirmation which indicated " We will congratulate your nominee on their status shortly". It's been 15 days - which is too long to be "shortly" and there's no change in his status online or when checking over the phone. The agent indicates that the website wasn't even active till April 1st, which even confused me further.

Anyone else nominate someone to 3P this year and gotten the nomination fulfilled? I would normally not be worried too much about it but my friend is flying out at the end of the month.
