Real-time status updates on BF waitlist yet?
Has the system for BF waitlists been changed yet to update your status in real-time on the waitlist as you advance (or drop) in status similar to EUA?
Currently I'm waitlisted for a flight and was added as a Gold. Under the existing system I don't believe my place on the waitlist was automatically updated to Plat. Any idea if the international rewards desk people are familiar with this little quirk or will I get a "don't worry your status updated automatically" when I call?
See CO Insider's post for reference.

Thanks for the update! I'll call tomorrow then to make the change.
Addendum: The call was rather painless and the rep changed my status. I'm not sure if this affects the time that I was placed on the waitlist but I figure with Plat status I'll still be ahead of the silver/gold group.
