Recognizing Change in Status
When I flew NWA previously, as I moved from Silver to Gold or Gold to Platinum I would have to contact them to update any future flights I had booked with the new status otherwise, the ticket would only recognize my status as what it was at the time of booking. I'm about to move from Silver to Gold with Delta and I'm wondering if the same situation exists with them? I fly weekly and usually have 5-6 flights booked out into the future.
Thanks!
Thanks!

That is the way I found to be useful in getting an itinerary to show and updated SM status.
Hope this helps.

I went from GM to PM in December 09, making the transition to plat on an outbound trip SEA-AMS-CDG. Well before my return ten days later my account showed me as platinum, as did my boarding passes for the return trip. The SEA-AMS RT segments were on NW but my mileage account had converted to SkyMiles by then, so I don't know which system made it all happen by that time.
