Credit for segments on Midwest for Silver Elite before I fly on January 2?
Hello and thanks in advance for you help.
Because I started traveling a bit more for work, I will reach silver elite status this year. However, to get the final 2 segments I am doing a mini segment run (if the weather in Michigan and Wisconsin cooperates!) on December 30 on Midwest Express Airlines. I fly again on January 2 with my husband and kids to Florida for a cruise.
I don't care about any potential upgrades for the Florida flights, but would like to take advantage of no additional cost for a checked bag. Unfortunately, it often takes 5-7 days for Midwest flights to credit to my WorldPerks account.
Is there anything I may be able to do to expedite the credit of the Midwest flights and reach silver status. Or, if I do pay to check a bag, might it be possible to get a refund once my status is credited to my account?

Might be worth a call to the WP folks -- perhaps a note in your (FLA) PNR for leverage at the counter, or after-the-fact?? Yeah, longshot.
We gonna see you at AA again ??
