UA and US seem to be inconsistent about this...there's probably some internal formula that determines it which all looks like magic to outsiders.

It's my understanding from colleagues that if you fail to re-qualify as a BD Silver member, they offer to 'sell' you another years Silver membership for £70.

SK (Norway) being nice...
I am SK *G until 31/12/04, but have failed to requalify for *G, not even *S...
But....yesterday I received my new card, and it's a Silver one
Seems like SK is not being consistent on their policies...

OZ - (Plat = Million Mile) - lifetime
Diamond - (100,000 life time miles), used to be lifetime, but changed to 3 year membership. However, without those three years of membership, if you fly OZ or other *A flights for 50,000 miles, you retain your status for another three years. Equiv. to *G
Gold - equiv. to * Silver (40,000 life time miles), same as diamond, 3 year membership, need to fly at least 25,000 miles within three years to maintain your membership.
Based on the wording of the requirements and threshold levels, I think Diamond members, if they don't fly 50,000 miles in three years, they drop to Gold level. So, sort of soft landing. But then again, this is only speculation as I am only a general member (they call it silver, which sounds nice). All my * flights are credited to UA. Otherwise, I would have been way beyond Diamond
