Will probably make 1K again for the first time since...2018? as well. BUT my husband, who hasn't flown since 1/2020, is also 1 MM, no credit card spend, made Platinum as well! Hunh? Could that be because I previously gifted him my status back in 2018, so he got tagged along when I got the promotion to Platinum? Or is this a one-time benefit for 1MM's?

If you each go to your United Mileage Activity Details page, you can see where your PQP came from (beginning of year welcome back bonuses, corporate bonuses, etc). That's where I'd recommend starting.
