Silver welcome package?
 

I know this may seem like peanuts to many, but I just made Silver, which is rather an accomplishment for me considering that 95% of the travel was leisure/on my own nickel.

Is there any sort of welcome package I should be expecting? If so, how long does it take to receive it? My status has been updated on the website since I flew my qualifying leg early last month.

Thanks!

Yeah, you should get a welcome package, but it's so close to year end, I wonder if they will wait till Feb. to send your elite package out. I made Silver in Sept. and I think I got my welcome package a few weeks later. Someone here will probably have more details for you...

I obtained Silver on November 4, and received my welcome packet on the Friday after Thanksgiving for 2002. The cover letter indicated that I would receive my welcome for 2003 in February. So it takes about 3 1/2 weeks to get your packet.

I made silver year ago on 12/20/2001 on the flight to Europe. The silver package was waiting for me on 1/8/2002 when I came back.

When I first made Silver my welcome package showed up within a couple of weeks.
In September I made Gold for the first time and my new Gold welcome package also showed up within a couple of weeks. With my next biz trip this weekend I will be Platinum so I am also wondering if I will see the welcome package this year, or in Feb 03.

Regardless, it's more important that the status is reflected on the web site.

Just got mine - thanks!!

Just wrapped up this weeks trip which put me over the Gold mark for the year, that is, after having already gone Plat earlier in the year (e.g. 126K+). I wonder if there are any "perk" kits on the way http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/wink.gif.

Joking aside, congratulations on your accomplishment and enjoy the perks, you earned them!
