So if I fail to pick up the extra 7200ish BIS miles to complete the 2P challenge, I will still have 1P after the trip is over I presume. My question, then, is will UA let me keep any of the bonus miles I get since I've just been upgraded to 2P during the challenge? Or will they remove them after I do not make 2P? Or will they take away the 2P level bonus and give me 1P level bonus?

I intend to complete the challenge, but I wanted to see if any of yall had any thoughts on this. Thx.
You got the names wrong.
25K miles => 2P
50K miles => 1P
100K miles => 1K

Prem Exec is called 1P. And you are now a 1P.

Anyways,
UA's challenge program offers you all the benefits of 1P during the challenge period (minor lounge access since you do not have the physical card.) You do not need to worry about losing out bonus miles.
