Select Activation
As of now it looks like i will hit 5000 qualifying points by early march. Will I get a select kit as soon as i hit 5000 or will i have to wait until feb of '07. As of now I do not have status. Then if i hit 10,000 by say July will i get a second kit in the mail for select plus?
thanks,
Ian

You will get your kit aprox 4-6 weeks after you reach the 5000 point landmark. The same for the 10000 point landmark.

Plus I'm sure that there are some who qualify for Select early in the year, but only make Select Plus right at the end of the year. Again they wouldn't get double coupons.

It should be noted that even though you might not have the card, once you qualify for a status level, your account will immediately recongnize that level. That means that bonus points for future trips will automatically start showing up.

Thats good, my biggest interest is in the ClubAcela card and the access to prez clubs

Hmmm, I wonder if you will have difficulty accessing the prez clubs, without the card. You know, using the printout from your online account that says you are Select Plus.

I take it using the print out should be fine at clubacela cause they can allways check their computers. As for prez club where on the GR site does it even say you can use it for clubacela, i cant find it.
