10/2 - while traveling, lost my nw world perks gold card.

10/15 - finally called nw and reported the card missing.

11/15 - called world perks to find out the status of my replacement card. apparently, the request didn't get forwarded until 11/3, and the processing center is backlogged, but the card should arrive within the next month.

11/30 - qualified for world perks platinum. !

12/3 - qualified for us gold preferred !!

12/11 - qualified for aa exec plat !!!

1/2/01 - received my exec platinum kit with 4 vip2's !!!!

1/12/01 - received my gold preferred kit with 2 swu's !!

1/22/01(today) - where the $#*! is anything from world perks (either a replacement gold or new platinum card)???

don't even get me started on the fact that nothing as good as the gifts from us and aa will be in the kit. you have got to be kidding me that it takes 2 1/2 months to get a card made???

I agree that NW is very slow to send out the elite kit though I didn't wait as long as you.

After I qualified for NW GOLD in early November, I waited for almost 6 weeks to get my Gold card kit.

There are 8 AS confirmed upgrade certificate in my gold card kit. However, since I don't fly AS, I have little use of them.

Ditto - nothing worthwhile in my NW gold package either. I too got the Alaska upgrade certificates and they are useless for me. Why can't NW give something worthwhile for their flights, something like a systemwide upgrade? Furthermore the Alaska certificates can only be used by a NW gold member so I can't even give this to friends.
