Thanks to the United 2002 premier extension and a mere $25.00, I will now be able to achieve premier status with United. As of now, I am only 43 miles short of 25,000. Next Monday I have to make a quick trip (ORD-CMH) which should put me over the edge.

I know that "Premier" will not magically appear on my boarding pass when the plane crosses over Portage, Indiana, but on my return flight on Tuesday back home, will my status be recognized by the airline? If not, how soon after will it show in the computer that I have made premier?

Thanks in advance, I appreciate any help.
