Segment-based Elite Coming to NW?
 

Anyone know if NW will be allowing segment-based elite in 2000?

NW currently has segment-based elite status, I havent heard anything to change this.

Check out www.nwa.com for all the details on the worldperks program.

Boomer,

I can only find info on the mileage-based elite qualification.

Can you provide a link?

From www.nwa.com:
"WorldPerks Gold Elite

Earn 50,000 credited flight miles in a calendar year and enjoy even more rewards with WorldPerks Gold Elite.

You can earn those miles on Northwest, KLM, Northwest Airlink, Alaska Airlines, Continental Airlines, Continental Express or Northwest-designated partner flights when you travel on a Northwest ticket.

Among the benefits of WorldPerks Gold Elite: unlimited free domestic upgrades, a 100% mileage bonus, pre-boarding privileges, guaranteed confirmed reservations and exemption from the monthly and annual mileage limitations with the WorldPerks Visa Card."

Boomer (and Carberry)...

I hate to burst your collective bubbles, but there is NO SEGMENT BASED ELITE QUALIFICATION at NW. I just got off the phone with their WP reps, and they said there is ONLY miles based Elite qualification, and there are currently no plans for any segment based qualification.

Sorry to break the bad news, and thanks for getting me so excited...not! http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif
