I'll have 67k EQM's after spending 2330 so far. I have about another 10k EQM's coming up spending another 840. So i'll end with 77k with no double EQM promotion

I wonder if those posting here will receive UGS invitations?
Congratulations with your success, regardless.

Hi par:
I think you are likely to receive an invitation from UGS this year.
Congratualtions.

Ops, I hope the UGS police are not monitoring this thread for your sake.

Since all my trips are bought for a reason, not to obtain miles, I've spend $0 for my 38k EQMs this year. All my flights have been from my work. I will probably buy at least one United flight for personal travel this year, expect to make 1P again...

I usually spend only $500 or so on personal travel annually. My business travel expense cap is effectively unlimited as my trips are all revenue-generating save for the occasional seminar or conference.

Since the bulk of my travel is comprised of "U" fares I seriously doubt I'll ever see UGS regardless of how much I travel.

Including a couple of booked flights, I have 59K for $4,900. Save for one relatively expensive H fare to Germany, this is all done on a shoestring budget.

Not 1P yet, but NEXT MONTH for the first time!!! Yippee. ^ ^ ^
