Just noticed my status changed from 1K to Global Services. Anyone else change over yet? I called and my packet is in the mail. I haven't seen a thread on this yet, so I hope I'm not duplicating.
My stats for 2012 are:
-$37K full spend, 95K miles
-$54K total spend, 190k total miles
I fly international out of EWR, and split domestic between EWR and PHL.
Dangit! I am Plat but should be right on the line for GS based on my spend estimates ($48Kish +/- 2 or 3K), mostly M fare though out of IAH. Only 90K. Will it just show a status change on the United page?
Wow, I'm surprised to see you made the initial qual at a non-competitve hub with that little spend. Congrats.

Do M fares qualify as full fare? I thought it was YB only for coach fares.

Good luck, everyone!
That spend sounds low - I'm surprised you made it.
I'm a bit puzzled by UA at this point. I went back and added everything up last night: a bit over $104,000 total spend on United (no code shares) during 2012. Most of this has been international business and first. My account still shows 1K.
I was surprised as well. It just appeared on my profile page, and then I called to confirm.
I didn't include them in my full-fare spend, but M fares make up the bulk of my non-full fare travel. Maybe they do count and that's what pushed me over. I asked the GS rep when I called, and she would neither confirm nor deny.
One mitigating factor, and I don't think it would have any effect (but who knows): I already have around $25k of full-fare travel booked during 1Q 2013.

Wow. That's just bizarre. The GS rep told me they were "rolling it out" over the next few weeks, so it might happen yet.

Status changes for new GS started occurring 2-3 days ago.
You would think they would provide some transparency for existing GS at the same time they are adding newbie's to the ranks - it suggests they have already done round 1 of the math so know who is clearly in - or maybe think it adds to the mystique....
