"Faster Way to Chairman's Preferred"

20K miles, or 20 segments, 3/10 to 6/10. Did any other former CP's slip slip sliding down into middle seat indignities and, well, hell, receive this postcard?

(Me? holding out for a return to the former theme song, and that linen napkin with the button-hole that you could position "just so." but as always, I'm infinitely curious.)

Got it. Just gold, never was CP, but am 1K.

I'd post the URL, but the card says "valid
for addressee only."

Ive havent gotten it yet, but I am away. Did it come by regular mail or email? I have been a CP for about 7 years or so and have flown 2 segments so far this year. So far all of my other miles have been on UA (about 48K) and AA (about 10K)

Did you receive a different version? My postcard says "We would like to offer you this special opportunity to enjoy Chairman's Preferred status once again."

I'm hardly a marketing/advertising/style type, but the postcard was decidedly déclassé.

I'm gonna have that much flying anyway, so I'd like to give the promo a shot, even if it is targeted. If no one wants to post the link, could someone e-mail it to me?

Second that request, if someone could please post/email the link/code etc. It is always worth a shot, and what is there to lose?

I got the offer in the mail today. I was CP last year, but dropped to Gold this year. I won't accept the offer, though, since I got another challenge privately by emailing the DM service centre, and that one includes flights taken earlier in the year.

As discussed here before many times, your
ability to be targeted for other coveted
promos whether or not this one takes. As
well the chance of ending up on the promo
blacklist if one exists.
