Elite Status
I have 24,500 miles flown. Is there any way to get Continental elite status without flying 500 miles?

Welcome to FT!
I do not think CO will grant you elite status and I suggest you take a MR.

Agreed; I'd take a flight to ensure getting the status.

Maybe if you have a flight already booked, you might have a shot. But for 500 miles, I am sure you can find a cheap flight to earn the balance.

No they will not, I am 120 miles short and I called the Elite desk and they told me to try and call back after my next outbound flight to see if I could benefit on my return trip.
