Ditto, 1K -> Silver. I had 37k EQM with $7700 EQD.

Just a slower year than usual at the office and a beancounter forced me onto DL for one international RT. Hopefully only temporary as my planned travel should be higher.

Could not justify a MR given the few benefits of Gold as I have Clear and often fly paid international C. Also expect to hit the 75k max RDM per flights under the new MP rules. ^

However, definitely not favoring UA for leisure travel in 2015 given the lack of 1K perks (not that they meant much anyway).
