YOU NEED TO SHOW YOUR ELITE CARD. I didn't have one and that's why even NW kept asking me if I were Elite.

Other Plat members - even with NW - didn't get good treatment at NRT, because they flew "Economy" at the back of the big bus to MSP!

Yes, that card has power in it!
I have had exactly the opposite when travelling NW from NYC to Shanghai. I never had to show my CO Plat card, and was upgraded automatically to World Business on both legs of NRT-PVG on one trip in coach. NW even blocked out the seats all the seats next to me so that I could stretch out on the long run into and out of NRT, and they werent exactly empty flights. My CO Plat card stayed put all the way.

Exclamation We're All Going to Be Non-Elite Come The Stroke Of Midnight!

Guys and Gals! A crisis is upon us!

Its 2/28 and no elite cards have come ergo when our existing credentials expire when the clock tolls its twelfth time tonight our cards, ALL our cards will have lost their magical powers!

CO, or more accurately the USPS, has only today to deliver the cards. If not, today than how will we be able to look at ourselves in the mirror tomorrow knowing we do not have our shiny blue/gold/platinum card?!

No rolling eyes or emoticons, but I still smell sarcasm. Are you implying that we should NOT equate our self worth to our airline elite status? You sir are a fool.

I was told the cards were mailed late and that the 2005 elite line numbers should be extended a week or so.

this is kinda ridiculous of them to send them so late, its not exactly rocket science, unless they are adding something, like luggage tags

Have not received my silver card yet. Called nonepass yesterday, the package was supposed to be sent out few days ago. Only thing rep could do was confirming my shipping address was the right one on file. Still waiting......

The packets are processed by a vendor. CO is notorious for mailing the packets out late. Check my earlier posting in this thread - I would expect them the week of March 7th.

From the picture on co.com under "my account" - it looks like the cards will have a new image. I would not panic. It is your onepass number in your account and on your reservation that counts.

Only issue many be international lounge access for Plats - but generally your boarding pass will show Elite status and it can be looked up.

Coming from the plastic guy - I can tell you almost certainly that somebody missed thier deadline.

I'm not quite sure who does COs cards but I do know who the card printers are in the U.S. and either the card printer/direct mailer or the plastic sheet supplier messed up.

I can see some major debits coming.........

Basic members get paper. I guess we shouldn't be complaining.
And no, we don't get luggage tags. I asked them already.

Actually I'm pretty sure basic OnePass cards are plastics as well - just thinner.

Elite card = .030 PVC
OnePass card = .010 PVC

Flying EDI / EWR in Y, contracted security people always ask to see my card when using Elite Access check in (you go through a quick Q & A with the security guy before you actually go to the desk to check in, so the security guy is your first point of contact).
