I got the following promotion in the mail today, but it appears to be targeted, so may not be for everyone:

At least they dont let Q class qualify. And no wonder there isn't an Elite phone line for Silver.

There's also a targeted promtion for maintaining gold status. I wouldn't be surprized if there was a maintain platium program too. The rules for maintaining gold are about the same as getting silver. 3 trips or 5 depending on ticket class.

I belive the only "elevating" to an elite level is to Silver. For Golds and Plats, I think that all this promotion can do for is is help to "maintain" your current elite status - not bump you up a level higher than you currently are.
It would be nice if NW ran the promo they did last year around this time that allowed us to elevate one level by taking 3 flights or so depending on booking class, etc.
