1K = 100,000 Miles of which 75,000 must be United metal BIS
GS = 125,000 Miles of which 100,000 must be United metal BIS

No TOD upgrades offer until all GS and 1K have been upgraded.


Upgrades processed by Status, then GPU, RDU, Miles, Fare class, Date purchased

Prioritize upgrades for all discounted fares YBM (government, corporate) behind publicly available YBM fares.

All international fares for 1K and above eligible for GPU. If there is a seat for sale, we can use GPU.

No capacity controls on Saverpass redemption for 1K and above. If there is a seat for sale, we can redeem at Saverpass award level.

Simple, fair, and makes 1K and above worth having.
Wow, lets do everything to give away the ship and kill revenue. Airline still needs to make money. Revenue should come first then the certs, then the freebies. Nothing you state will happen as they all reduce revenue.
