Remember, status does not change until 1 March 2013. Plenty of time for everything to clear.

Does anyone know if this will stack onto the Shuttle DPQM promotion?

I'm wondering if it works with the Trial Preferred program. Would be nice to do 3 transcon RTs instead of 6 and get CP. The T&Cs for both are fairly slim on information and neither address any ability to combine or prohibition from doing so.

OK, suppose I book tomorrow a rt, say PHL-LAX, for December. But in November, I realize that I must leave a day later than planned for that December trip. Will I get the DPQM's even if I pay the $150 change fee? I'm thinking "yes" as long as my Confirmation Code does not change. I'd imagine that I could even move the entire itinerary a week forward in December and get the DPQM -- as long as the Confirmation Code is unchanged after I pay the change fee.
Thoughts?

I was thinking the same thing, unfortunately I did the trial earlier this year. It might still be worth grabbing the preferred for the outside shot of upgrades on transcons. Even with regular PQM you'll hit silver after the second most likely.

You also have the IT inertia on your side, as per a common confirmation code, as you note.
Whether logic and inertia will stand up on the very small chance that US notices and gets fussy about this is something else -- I am often amazed by US's hideboundedness -- but I would say things are very much likely to go as you suggest.

If I have 45K PQM's so far in 2012, let's say I book a trip that is worth 4K PQM's for December. I will then be at 49K PQM's and still Silver at that point. Now with this DPQM promotion, another 4K PQM's will be added to my account in January. Will that then put me at 53K PQM's for 2012 and make me Gold? Or will I still have 49K PQM's for the year, be stuck at Silver, and just have another 4K PQM's to start off the 2013 year?
I ask because I'm so close to Gold and would like to achieve it with this, but I don't want to lose out on it by 1K miles due to a technicality on when they post.

So, just so I'm clear on this...

Grr. Booked 12k worth of trips last week.
Hate to say it, but I'm kind of bummed by this. After hop/skip/jump, I found upgrades as mere gold to be tough. This year, it has been much better. I fear, now, that next year will get tough again and I don't think I'm going to be able to get to plat.
Oh well.
