Please remember the following requirement for UA elite status -
"To qualify for any Premier level, members must fly at least four paid flights operated by United or Copa during a calendar year.*
*Members who hold a United MileagePlus Presidential Plus or Club Credit Card are exempt from the four segment minimum as long as they are the primary Cardmember and their Credit Card account is in good standing at the time of qualification."
