Delta has stopped offering service to Bahrain so I'm moving over to United. Just applied for the status match challenge based on my Delta Platinum status and I have my first reservation to/from BAH on United.

In my reservation it lists the PQMs for each leg of the trip. The first leg is listed as follows:

Award Miles/Premier Qualifying*: 264 /100%

Is there no 500 mile minimum per segment as there is on Delta?

Also, how do the domestic upgrades works? On Delta there were unlimited free upgrades on domestic legs based on status and fare class. I read the page on the United site and it seemed to be similar.

Thanks,
