Now, the overhead of not booking through our corporate system is just ridiculous. It automatically checks to make sure it meets all corporate policies, and that it's one of the lower fares, etc. To expense 1/10th of a flight pass would be so much effort, even if it saves a hundred dollars.

Okay so I just called United, and they said I was showing *S. I asked the agent to remove my number and add it back, and now it's showing *G 
So it took at most 10 days from it showing up on the Altitude site to it showing up in United's system.
Now I just have to hope I'm allowed in with a *S card and *G on my BP
(or that my E50K card shows up by Thursday)

I think either on the AP or Altitude site, you can do a "mobile card" that reflects the *G. If it helps manage your expectations, I haven't been asked for my *G card the whole year. They just scan the barcode and I'm in.

flyquiet, it's been 10 days since my status changed. That's not a long time

I hit 95 AQS on Wednesday Sept. 18 and it was posted on the 20th. I've still not received my email about selecting privileges. @ACAltitude just said I'd get it "soon". That was a week ago. Any others have a sense of how long this should take or who I should contact?

Have you tried just logging in? I don't think I got an email for 50k.

As canadiancow mentioned, there isn't a need to wait for the email. Just log onto the Altitude site and you should see a link if in fact they've updated your status.
Same goes with threshold gifts. I have recevied the email notification, but that usually came after I selected my options.

Early Recognition Q's
I am sorry if this has been brought up before but I read through several threads and went through searches and could not clearly find my answer.
I was recognized early as a e50k about a week ago. I noticed on my tags and eupgrade portal page that my status and eups expire Feb of 2014.
Can someone please verify if I will still continue to hold the e50k status until the end 2014? Also, will all of my eups expire in Feb of 2014 as well or will they be valid up until the end of 2014?
Many thanks!

you can see when your eups expire in the AC eupgrade account screen. The batch assigned at any time in 2013 will expire end of Feb 14; then the ones you choose for 2014 will appear with an expiration date of Feb 2015.
The challenge for me has always been booking flights for early march time frame when the system is transitioning.
re tags- assuming you chose your E50 privileges and verified your name/address choice, your tags for 2013 will be sent by mail shortly (weeks in AC speak); then new ones with the 2015 expiry sometime early next year.

As for the eups, the expiry shown is Feb of 2014 as well (150 days left), but I guess I will wait and see what happens at that point. Hopefully they transfer over.

Any unused as of Feb 28, 2014 will expire.
You will get new ones when you select your 2014 package - those will
expire Feb 2015.
And any ones you earn starting around Dec of this year will also have a 2015
expiry ( This is not a written benefit, just a freebie from AC).
