Thanks to you both. That's too bad. You'd think that even if someone is a high spender, you'd think that UA would want to give them GS to incent them to use United as much as possible. I realize many here might not consider that "fair," but it might be the right thing for the airline. I guess potential GS qualifiers who chose to credit miles to another program are probably a pretty limited group...
