Please catch me in the sweep this December 
.
I'm a bit disappointed because I used 50,000 miles for a flight in December when if I knew the sweep was coming I would have waited to IKK for 25,000.
BUT, as long as I get caught in the sweep I can at least still eUpgrade those fares under 100k policy!

The AC social Media / Internet teams are pretty damn amazing at what they do.

Yes, but I'd like the card, luggage tags, and 5 (?) lounge passes.
Mine too
I am officially Super Elite!

Don't get too excited. Until I get more clarification from @ACAltitude, it looks like we'll just be SE "in name only"

I just in the last 30 min IKK'd a domestic flight for 25,000 after getting 100k 30 minutes before that. Looks like boarding cards are updated too.

I passed 100k in late November and miles posted early December. Dashboard still showed 75k status. Just checked in today and status now shows as 100k and I was able to make Bundle 1, 2 and 3 selections.
I don't expect this is the "Early Recognition" feature officially available until October 15 and unofficially extended by 2 or 3 weeks. In other words, I am not about to receive 70 eUpgrades with a February 2015 expiry and then get another 70 at the start of the 2014 status year. Of course, I hope I am wrong about that!
But if I receive 100k contact numbers, concierge access and 100k priority at airports, that is a lot more than I was expecting 3 hours ago.

I too hit SE status in late November and my page shows SE now.
I have a flight next week and I am 7 days out, I was able to jump on and upgrade my return flight in the 7 day SE window. This morning I was waitlisted for an upgrade on the outbound in the 6 day window.
It was faster than I expected to get the SE benefits, which I have to say I'm happy about. Not happy about all that much with Altitude but this was a very pleasant surprise.
