Exclusive Premier Status Offer Splash Screen
As I was helping some friends book an award ticket last night at 11:30 EST (thinking that the devaluation goes into effect Feb. 1 until I read FlyerTalk this morning), I saw a splash screen on united.com with words to the effect that appear in the title. Thinking that I only had 1/2 hour to help them book a ticket before the redemption values jump, I decided to come back to the screen at a later time. Now, however, I see the typical "flyer friendly" splash screens, but did not once again see the Exclusive Premier offer screen reappear. Did anyone else happen to land on the screen and know what the offer was about? I tried logging in and out to see if I can reproduce it but I was unable to do so.

Like this?
It maybe targeted. I finished 2013 at 20,000 and when I clicked, it took me to this complete with my 2013 details.
Letting me buy up an extra 5,000 PQMs for $799. LOL.

Was it $799 for 5K or 4K? My price is 4K for $799, 8K for $1399
Not worth it as I need that 8K miles for Gold. Though I almost spent $1100 on some flights at the end of the year for a mileage run. So maybe not so off base.

I needed 13K miles to get to silver (since I finished 2012 with only 12,xxx PQMs), and the offered price for 13K miles was $1999. It's definitely a custom offer tied to what you need to get to the next level based on your 2013 flying.

FS-Mom was short of Plat, and is now 1P. Not seeing any offer on her account, or anywhere on the UA site..
Anybody got a link to the offer?

$2000 for Silver is ridiculous. I think if I were 13K PQM short of 1K, I would have to hold my head for a while to spend $2k on 1K.

Comp Plat offer on splash screen
I actually just got a different offer on the splash screen. I was a PLAT last year and just got downgraded to a GOLD today.
However, when I logged into my account, the splash screen (which I clicked on) gave me an offer for complimentary PLAT until May 31 PLUS 2 immediate RPU's. If I fly 18k miles between now and 5/31 then I get to stay PLAT for the year. There seems to be no downside to the offer so I took it; worst case my previous PLAT status is extended for 4 more months and I return to GOLD and have 2 free RPU's to boot.
Beginning to test the waters on other carriers AA/US and WN with some spring bookings already made at better fares than UA was able to offer so we shall see.
