Status reset on 1st February -- in most cases UA will not do softlandings --- you will most likely get the status you earned. Lots of discussion in

But as with all things there are exceptions --

The first was to only buy up to to the status and the other was status with PQS and PQD. Both options we a lot less that I thought they were going to get me for. I chose the later option.
Good Luck.
