Hello,
I currently am Senator on Miles and More (Brussels airlines). I will be moving to the US (Chicago) soon and I was thinking about moving to Mileage Plus. I travelled a lot less this year and probably won't renew my Senator status on Miles and More this year, but if I switch I might have a go at getting at least Silver Premier on United, and maybe Gold Premier.

I am getting contradictory information from miles and more and united customer service. United has told me I can enroll in Mileage Plus and then call customer service to transfer earned mileage under Miles and More (I'm assuming not status mileage though). Miles and More tells me that's impossible.

Has anyone ever tried it? What would you recommend? Switch to United or stay with Miles and More?
