Are you sure you are only UA Silver? If you are only Silver, you don't have GPUs but maybe you have a friend that can use his GPUs for you.

Thanks! I'm currently Silver but will achieve 1K status later this year. I'm planning to use my GPU's for transatlantic flights and was wondering if I can use them for Polaris😀. Hopefully Polaris will be on a flight to AMS soon.
