And assuming a similar pace next year, I should be on track to make 1K by October? Making Gold this year is gonna be close.
For half-year numbers, yes. 1K is 54 segments and 18,000 in spend on UA. Spend could be less if you take some advantageous Star Alliance flights/fares on non-United tickets.
Yes, you would indeed be Gold.
