More specifically, if you have already re-qualified for 1K (as in flown 100,000 miles and spent more than $12,000--if based in the USA), people are reporting that UA will extend up to two GPUs until April 30--they've done this annually for many years. You just have to call Mileage Plus.
If you haven't/won't re-qualify, they won't go to April 30, but you indeed might get a sympathetic agent that might extend it for a day or two.
