Email from UA - "It's not too late to reach Premier Silver (or Gold/Plat/1K) status"
 

Just got this email:

Am dropping from 1K to GM on 2/1/13.

Me go for this? Not. A. Chance. :rolleyes:

No option to purchase for me or the Mrs. Got an "invitation only" error message. Not that I would be doing it anyway...

Me: dropping from 1k to Gold (50,526 PQM)
Mrs: dropping from Gold to Silver (35,550 PQM)

Can't see the offer since I'm already 1K, but am curious - what is it?

Ahhh the January status buy-ups have started -- can folks post

approx 2012 PQMs
PQMs needed for next level and price

What's the max PQM offer? is there a you're too far way point?

it will be interesting to see the cost and any variable pricing strategies from UA

I got an offer to buy up from PP to 1K for only... $4100!!! I need 15k miles.

I'm short of Premier Gold (sitting at 41433 PQM), here was my offer:

Interestingly, my wife & two kids all ended the year with ~14,000 PQMs, but only my wife is eligible for the "offer".....

11,000 PQMs for $1699 to get to silver :eek:

The range offered to her was:

It costs more for you to buy 9k PQM to hit Gold than me to buy the same # to hit Silver (sitting at 16416)...

2,000 PQM / 2 PQS - $349

Yeah, I'm about to fall from 1K to Silver, and I can buy up to Gold for the low, low price of $2149!

I guess UA won't be doing any soft landings this year.

Ugh. I guess I should hurry up and do those 47,000 miles I need to get MM status.

Gold to Platinum table
 

I was able to login to an account to view this Gold to Platinum table. Not needed though due to a Copa flight not posting until Jan 5th. No email about this offer from United yet, which is a good thing, and RPUs posted so we know Platinum was achieved.

2,000 PQM/2 PQS - $649

I need 15k PQM to reach Gold (was a gold previously, dropping to silver), and was offered to buy them for $2449.

Thanks, but no thanks. As much as I'll miss E+ at booking and club usage, that's not worth $2500 to me.

If you buy the PQM does that become existing PQM mileage for 2013?

Same offer, falling from Plat to Gold... needed 7k @1249... no thanks.

I got $2500 for 7000 miles for 1k. No thanks!

Plat to 1K is way worse. Apparently those SWU are very valuable.
