comp to co platinum
i was comped co platinum last june, flew on 2 transcons round trips from lax to ewr.
all 4 flight were 738's i was only able to upgrade 2/4 segments, one ex- lax one ex-ewr
i decided to stick with my preffered carrier, aa.

Sorry, gotta disagree with you. I find snake's responses on the mark most of the time. Perhaps I just haven't read enough of them, but that my 2 miles' worth.

Right, which is why j/k (just kidding) was included. I agree that Snake has been a valuable contributor to the CO board. It's just the *enhanced* stuff I was trying to rib him about.

Well, since you did not make Plat, CO may offer you a buy-back of Plat for about $750.

Well, CO did that couple of years ago, but one could only "buy-up" one level above their actual achievement. I was Plat/Gold for the last 10 years and made Silver (Blue)for 2004. I have heard the "buy-up" numbers were $450 Silver to Gold, and $750 Gold to Platinum. With the revenue push at CO, I wouldn't be surprised that one could acquire that enhancement .
Call NonePass Non-service and tell them you heard that "buy-ups" had been done in the past and see what they say.

Ohooooo too cool! a Platinum card after only two trans-cons. I guess it's time for us ol' has been, year-after year, butt-in-seat elites to move out to pasture an' let the next generation of elites move up on those trans-con 737's.
I'll bet ol' Jaws elite card ain't gonna be the only thing that's gonna be blue!
