"Four Paid Flights"
Last year I flew little and dropped down to general member. This year, I already have >25,000 PQM. 4 segments on UA, but not 4 itineraries. All PQM miles have posted, but I'm still listed as "member." For a while.
According to new rules, "four paid flights" on UA (or Copa) are required to qualify for status. I had interpreted this as 4 segments. What does "four paid flights" means? Is it four segments, and they are just delayed in assigning status? is it 4 itineraries? Is it 4 one-way portions?
