Membership level: Premier
Current redeemable miles balance: 34,241
Year to date Elite Qualifying Miles (EQM) 20,241
Year to date Elite Qualifying Segments (EQS) 4
Lifetime United flight miles: 20,241
Actually, elite status is not determined according to age, so I'm not sure I understand the problem. All that is relevant is how much your Grandma flew in 2008. It seems plausible, based on what you have written here, that she earned 25K EQM, although apparently on other Star Alliance airlines. Did she?
