Friend of mine has been "pending" E50K since January 1. He has a flight in 10 days. He has no status otherwise, so he's interested in the sweep.

Earned the last AQM on Dec 23, though it took a while for the FP AQM to post. Sealed it for sure with flight on 26th.
I was able to select on Friday or Saturday (but didn't - still deliberating). Got the email to nudge me to do it today. Got off the fence and did it. Giving up the 75% to give Mr FQ a taste of status, since I don't envision being 75K as a usual thing.

My wife just got notified of her new 50K status today. She had never had any status until early qualifying for E35K in September. She actually ended up about 400 AQM short of 50K (while being way above the AQD), so I guess AC decided to comp her the status.

Is it normal to get comped Altitude 25 or whatever it's called? Never had status with an airline before this. Seems strange.

Similar situation here...except I had 17K AQM and about 20 segments. I was offered in December to buy the 25K status but respectfully declined. I was surprised to see an e-mail last week asking me select by options. I'm scratching my head. I wasn't even close. The only thing is that this year I have United Silver from my Marriott Plat (which, in turn, was given after the merger with SPG).
