different US status on UA
Mrs. Zeke320 fell back to gold this year from CP. However, every time we fly UA they still show her as CP on her boarding pass. US boarding passes show her as Gold. Anyone have any clue as to why this is? Thanks in advance.

Anyhow, just wondering does UA pring just 2 digit elite code- SP, GP, PP, CP. Lol! I've flown in Feb '07 and cannot remember. I do remember the wording/ or coding is very small.
On US however, the Elite Status is big, except I miss the "Preferred" word after the status.
Still, can't beat GOLD

And my last UA BP had "silver" spelled out in full.
As for the OP's question, I can't offer any particular insight as to why UA thinks Mrs. Zeke320 is still a CP, but it's my understanding that having UA show incorrect status isn't a particularly unique issue. In your case, to the extent that her showing CP instead of Gold might increase her/your chances for an op-up or E+ seating, I wouldn't bother trying to get it corrected . . . . Is she getting the GP mileage bonus or the CP bonus when the miles post? (I'm assuming US credits her as a GP, since that's her actual status . . . .)

She only gets GP bonus when UA miles post to US account. Boarding passes say "US CHMN" under name.

My wife and I just moved up from GOLD to PLAT last week, and we're flying united next Friday, so I'm curious to see if the boarding passes will show our new status.
