New CO Rules

I'm fairly new to the Elite game. Do the new CO rules screw people flying on an economy ticket for 2002?? I can't find it on their website.

Not at all. It's pretty much business as usual at CO for the upcoming year, with the only significant change being that non-Elites may no longer use miles to upgrade domestically on Q, T, or V fares.

For purposes of the CO board, screw = enhance

You do it voluntarily, as avek00 says:

The DL/CO/NW alliance agreement includes provisions whereby Delta will seek to gain entry for CO, NW, and presumably KLM into the SkyTeam Alliance.

I thought that I noticed some new expediated processing fees for onepass award tickets made less than 21 days (Starting in 03). There were a couple of different levels of charges ($75 is one that I seem to remember). Since I have made 3 award tix less than a week before flight left, I figure taking trip in 02 instead of 03 saved me over $200. Somehow I knew this benefit would go away, I always save some miles for unexpected trips that pop up at the last minute. Always thought it was a good strategy, benefits are slowly disappearing.

No reason to worry about changes...

until Gordon says there's no reason to.

Given the difficulty (in my personal exprerience) in finding standard rewards farther than 3 weeks out, this is essentially a charge on most standard rewardss.
