I know there have been posts/threads on the flight pass threshold gifts, but alas, I cannot seem to find what I am looking for... so I will ask here:
I surpassed 200K status miles last week and can now choose my 200K threshold gift.
There is the Super Elite 100K Flight Pass - Southwest Sun Pass in Economy Class or Super Elite 100K Flight Pass - New York Commuter in Economy Class.
In the details for both passes, it states:
There is no mention of status miles accrual. Anyone have experience using these passes and receive status miles for the actual flights booked and flown?

It is a prepaid package of four (4) one-way flight credits based on the Flex fare option (H booking class) and offers complimentary upgrades to Executive Class with eUpgrade Credits.

Sorry, one more related question:
For these flight passes, can I pay a difference in fare and change fee to a higher fare class so I can use less eUgs (or do a full shebang upfare to Z/D/C/J)?

I'm 35K and see a message to "review your threshold gift selection". When I click the link, I see a page with a header for what seems to be a table of "order status" but has no body content. I never saw a menu selection of options to choose. I don't know whether my "gift" has been pre-ordained and is not a choice, or something is buggy and I should see a choice but I don't, or whether I should not see this at all, or what. This message has newly appeared, but I have just over 35K for this year. I think the message appeared at some point between 20 and 30K, though. (Not sure when, as I was on the Grand Tour.) Now, when I go to my e-upgrade page at AC, I see a 10 point credit for threshold. Maybe that is it?

Mine says that too, but the Message "Review your Threshold Gift selection" implies I got one already but the resulting page does not give me anything to review and I never had any selection to make. The page just says it could take 6 weeks to arrive (what doesn't?) However I *do* have 10 more eupgrades than I started with, so I assume that's it.

Miles were posted on June 24, flight was on June 22.
I'm not too worried about this, other than I expect to blow through 75k which technically disqualifies me for the E50k gift?
(edit) Update from @acaltitude, I am to make the request manually through marketing... just had to tell them what I wanted and they are handling it. I'm curious if anyone managed to get the dashboard to prompt for it.

Another update: Just received an automated email to pick my threshold gift on the dashboard.
Don't see anything on the dashboard itself for picking, only a "history" link that shows nothing ordered.

That is the same thing I experienced (post above). I just inferred it was the added eUps, but if there's also gifts, I'm in. Tell me how!

Does anyone know what the threshold gift is for SE at the 150K level? I am not sure if it is better to make it there or if it would be better to spread my wings and start accumulating miles in a different alliance once I have re-qualified for SE.

Spread your wings.........
I would look at other programs vs getting bonus aeropesos or gift certificates.
