Platinum Guaranteed Upgrade Program
 
I checked nwa.com and saw that the Platinum Guarantee Upgrade Program no longer mentions this is only for the 2008 program year.. I could've sworn it was on there before.. If I'm right, does this mean that it's been extended indefinitely?..

Don't know if anyone has touched this subject yet..

Silence on the matter is not bliss though. It's there, but is it accurate?

you got it on DL metal???

I know I didn't get them on DL metal, nor did I get them on NW metal when flying on a DL ticket (credited to WP, of course)...

If on NW metal, you should get the 1000 miles. I have TTU'd in the case of DL ticketed flights to get the miles.

I thought I read that the 1000 mile bonus ended 2/28, but I'm not positive.

That's good to know. Wonder if they'll do it retroactively (this happened last year).

I flew MSP-LAX today and didn't get upgraded so will let you know if I get the 1000 unless someone lets us know before

I got 1K two weeks ago for Feb 19th flight.

NW flights purchased prior to 15NOV will be exempt from the 100% only rule. Check out the asterisk'd fine print on this link... http://www.nwa.com/worldperks/elite/mileage09.shtml

kkua Mar 3, 2009 11:23 am

Sorry... wrong thread. My apologies.

So, I TTUd to see what the scoop was, and here is the response:

Northwest-operated flights 1-1999, Compass Airlines flight numbers
2000-2099, and Mesaba Airlines flight numbers 3400-3699.

To be eligible for this bonus customers must have a paid fare of Y B M H
Q V L T or K and a flown fare that is not P F R or A.

You have now received the 1,000 bonus miles for the Platinum Guarantee
on all of your eligible Northwest-operated flights.

Thank you for choosing Northwest, KLM, Delta and our SkyTeam Alliance
airlines. We value your patronage and consider it a privilege to serve
your travel needs.

Sincerely,

NWA AGENT

So, no go on DL operated flights, but anything NW operated seems to be ok.
