Hey everyone,

I managed to hit E35 for Oct 15, and will probably hit E50-E75 in November.

I got recognized and have chosen my privileges online.

Does anyone know when the snail mail package arrives with the ID card? I'd like to get my status matched by Westjet before end of the year, but I need the 'ID' to do so.

Thanks!

You will receive the package within 2-3 weeks after selecting your privileges.

Just got my Early Recognition this morning to 50K *G.
Learned from many of yours expertise here, I will not select my package until Nov 1. So, on Nov. 1, if I select from the bundle 1 ( Choose 2 of 3), say 1,500 AQM + 5 eUgrade. For the next year, I can select again 2 different ones from the full Previlege package? Will the 1,500 AQMs go toward this year count or until 2017? I understand the eUpgrade credits and the MLL Guest passes will go further into 2017, but how about 1,500 AQMs?

Sorry for this question, this is my first time with Early Recognition, even though I was E50K in 2012 & 2013.

(I think you should not select your bundle with the flu, which is what I did. Giving it some lucid thought, I might have picked differently for the remainder of this year. Whatever.)

These are just selections for the remainder of 2015, so we will be able to select different choices for2016.

I wonder if they have stopped the grace period of the early status recognition? or if people have just stopped posting :P

A flight on Oct 25 put me over to the next tier. Today I was able to select tier benefits so looks like the early recognition grace period is still in effect (or was as at Oct 25).

Getting close to first time SE

Next week I will hit 50k BIS miles on AC metal and then somewhere over Southern Africa on Nov 14th I will pass 100k total AQM.

Any recent experience out there with (maybe from last year) with new SE status being recognized so late in the year? Or will I need to wait until 2016? Thanks.

However, my status was updated in the system, giving me higher upgrade priority, concierge access, etc.
Just found this from last year. Very encouraging.

I have until Nov 18 to select my privileges.
The 5 eUpgrade Credits are valid through February 29, 2016.
I though the 5 eUpgrade are valid through Feb 2017, if I selected on Nov 1?
All my remain flights in 2015 are in Tango, would love to save those 5 eUpgrade for next year in Flex fare?

I'm in the same boat as you, AsiaMission. I'm going to save my eUpgrades for Jan/Feb 2016 on the Flex fares.
