Ivory to Silver in between flight segments
Thanks much for the awesome input by Richelieu in the FB FAQ Sticky. Background: I'm a F+ (Ivory) member (approx. 24k miles) based in the US.
I will be doing IAD-AMS-BOM-AMS-IAD (NW) over the summer. Per Richelieu I will be a F+ Silver member (is that the same as ST Elite?) (25k miles) in the IAD-AMS segment.
My questions:
1. Since I'm flying NW would I be eligible for the free upgrade on the rest of my segments of the itinery (AMS-BOM and BOM-AMS-IAD on my way back)?
2. For every mile beyond 25k (till I reach Gold at 40k) I should expect to be credited 150% of the miles flown?
Thanks -- ef

The only free upgrades are on domestic USA flights operated by NWA.

The only free upgrades are on domestic USA flights operated by NWA."NW and Kenya Airways D and W fares are excluded, V only earns 25%, and free upgrades for elites"
Thanks for the clarification!!

flight.)
No, you wont get 50% for every mile beyond 25,000. You start getting that when you're upgraded. I.e. when that first flight has posted.
I missed out on a 1800 bonus on a EWR-OSL segment because I qualified only earlier in the day rather than the day before.
No free upgrades.

Flying ZRH-CDG-PPT-CDG-ZRH I qualified for Silver on the return PPT-CDG leg (I guess CDG-PPT-CDG is the easiest way of getting silver status in one return trip), and got the bonus miles already for the CDG-ZRH leg. It might have been because the PPT-CDG leg is overnight, and CDG-ZRH was on the next day, although I had checked in when I was still Ivory.

To have the system see you as a Silver Elite, I think you at check in need to ask them to put your number in again.
This is necessary as when you booked the flight, you were an Ivory member.
