Luck reaching higher status using January activity
Has anyone had luck with getting UA to consider January activity for your status year? If they include my January activity, I would have reached 1K for this year. I know it's a long shot but wondering if there's any precedent of this being done before. I've been offered buy-ups in the past but nothing came through this year.

Thanks!

Never say never, but as close to never as you can get without saying never.

Can you still purchase status miles from UA for 2014?

Not recent experience. It was PMUA about 10 years ago, I called in December and provided PNR of my January purchased ticket, and I was given the status.

I don't think this is permitted post merger.
