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

We hope you've been enjoying your benefits as a Premier® member. To recognize your loyalty, we've made it simple and easy to achieve Premier Silver status for 2013.united.com/2013status now through February 28, 2013, to purchase the Premier qualifying miles or segments you need to obtain Premier Silver status so you can continue to enjoy the benefits that make travel so rewarding.
Am dropping from 1K to GM on 2/1/13.
Me go for this? Not. A. Chance.

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

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

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.

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

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