Pay to keep status offers?
 
Hi Folks,

I was wondering if anyone received any "pay to keep your status" offers from CO yet this year?

I had seen this posted around last year at this time when folks were paying to maintain GOLD and PLAT when they didn't make it for the qualifying year.

I missed mainatining my status by about 8k and wanted to see if they were offering anything...

THX - JR

Please, no flames about earning status or diluting the booze with water... THX

Same situation for me, didn't receive a buy up offer...

Maybe they feel more content with giving Elite away for free with an AT&T calling card? :P

As I previously posted, my girlfriend was a gold last year (2002) and flew around 10k last year-all T fares. CO apparently decided to extended her another year-Silver. A very random experience.

Your chances of getting one of these offers is a lot greater if you fly out of an airport where Continental is not the dominant airline.

In years past, I think they've offered the pay-to-keep-status offers across the board. I know people in IAH that have gotten them in the past.

I went from Plat to Silver on higher than T fares, got no offer. Same w/ Mrs. Duxfan, who dropped from Silver to dirt. I musta flown NW too much! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/biggrin.gif Sorry Gordo, I don't do your long haul JungleJets!

Out of curiosity, has anyone seen one of these offers lately?
