(1) What is your MP Status on UA right now?

General member as of 2/1/2015

(2) What are your plans for earning certain MP Premier status for 2016 AND how will you achieve that status?

I am considering leveraging my US CP/AA EXP status for a match to UA 1K. I'm definitely not interested in earning UA status the hard way.

(3) What are your reasons for seeking or not seeking certain Premier Status in 2015 for 2016 with UA?

Have close to 50,000 miles left over in my MP account and would love to be able to book awards with no fees and cancel and redeposit for free.

Like to have access to Economy Plus seating for free. Unfortunately, *G status doesn't get those.

Upgrades are less of an issue as I've been used to not being upgraded.

Bonus miles are no longer an issue as they are now tied to price and not distance flown.

I have been impressed with the meals in International Economy, so I know things at UA are improving but the FF program is very important consideration for me, so the more UA plays with it, the less I'm likely to be interested in it. I would consider doing a match and flying the required number of miles to retain the status but certainly not going to do it the regular way.
