Comped status?
Does anyone here know if CO will continue to give 'comped' onepass status (silver or gold) for the 2003 year?
I have Air Canada Elite (Star Alliance Gold), but a change in jobs will have me on CO plenty in the next year.
If so, what do I have to send in?
Thank you in advance.

I was comped in April from a 2001 & 2002 Super Elite to Continental Platinum. I'd flown most of February through March on Continental.
A fellow traveller from Halifax was comped a couple weeks back for a 2002 Super Elite to 2002 & 2003 Platinum. The agent felt it didn't make sense to give him Platinum for just a couple months. He's been flying CO on discount fares since early September.

Comping is apparently a once-in-a-lifetime thing, though. You can't trick them into that twice.
