Looking for some input on when to receive the Early Recognition offer for SE100K. My account was updated 5 days ago showing me crossing the AQM and AQD requirements for SE100K, yet I still show as E75K and no offer via email or account has been shown to choose the SE100K benefits.

When crossing E35K, E50K and E75K earlier this year, the offers all came within 24hrs of the account being updated. For SE100K, I'm going on 6 days. AC says it takes "a few days" but I've got a flight on Monday.

Any suggestions?

Hmm. It was instant for SE last year.

Though I'm not sure there's much you can do but wait.

Just moved up from E35 to E50 this morning and was invited to select my privileges. I didn't realize the the selections for upgrade credits were dramatically different than when selecting at the beginning of the year - i.e. 2 choices of 5 credits each - not 30 and 10.

Moving to E75K gives you 10+5 credits.

Can't comment on the move from E75K to SE100K because I'm still at 10 days+ of waiting for my Early Recognition offer.

Flew my 49, 50 and 51st segments Sunday - 1 posted yesterday, 2 this morning. Checked the Altitude site and the button to select my privileges was live.

If you have the AQD plus (AQM or AQS) but don't see anything on the Altitude site by now, you should call in and have someone look at it.

It's not different at all.

2017 E35K status lets you get 30 eUpgrade credits.
2017 E50K status lets you get 40 eUpgrade credits (i.e. 10 more than E35K).

You've earned E50K status, so you get 40 eUpgrade credits.

Yes, thank you, I get it. I was naive enough to think they were going to give me another 40.

It worked that way when I went from E35K to E75K.

I ended up with so many credits that I think some expired. And I upgraded every low-Flex flight.

Clearly not what they wanted

Is this why early E35 gets you just 10? The difference from P25 even if you weren't P25? I thought it was all pro-rated?

As to not what they wanted ... how did this tie into your J only system? If it pushed you towards only buying (well, flying) J there's a point of view that it worked

Once you've flown J it's hard to go back

My "J only" system means I'm not going to book a non-upgradeable fare. Not that I never buy Y.

Any luck with this? I'm waiting myself (albeit, only two days at this point).

17 days between the qualifying flight and Early Recognition offer; 12 days from the time the AQM/AQD was posted to my account and when the Early Recognition offer was received.

Flying in N. America with >10 eUps in Flex differs greatly from TPAC or TATL where it is <21 eUps in Flex/PE. I'm having to pick-and-choose which flights to eUp on in order not to run out of credits. And SE early recognition only gives 10+5 credits in Bundle 1 & 2.

I understand, but in 2013, it gave 70.

So if you went all the way from P25K to S100K, you had hundreds of credits.
