Does this happen often? Is it a mistake? Actually flying today and when I printed my boarding pass it still says Prem. Exec. but when I call into the MP customer service line the automatic prompter says I'm 1k ...

What gives?

thanks!!
I don't think this is a mistake, but I'm not sure if this happens often enough. However, I was a recipient of such status bump a few years ago, as well as other FTers like Robotdoctor. In my case, I was also 1P who divided my trips between UA and NW. This bump did make me fly most exclusively on UA and *A as I've never looked back and reached 1K now for the past 4 years.

Congrats ^
