[QUOTE=PremEx]They used to have this policy in previous years, but not this last one. In 2004 non-requalifying 1Ks only found themselves being afforded a "Soft Landing" down to Premier Executive status if they generated substantial revenue (usually from high-fare type tickets) for United.

I was a 1K in '03 and had only about 20K in travel last year. I was dreading the blue card and they were kind enough to grant me PremEx (the status, not the person ).

The difference is, while my ticket prices had been in the full Y range for some time, my last 18 mos they had been bottom of the barrel.

Regardless, I am thankful that UA chose to grant me 1P... and I have repaid it by requalifying for it this year. Thanks UA!

Good luck and I wish you a similar fate-
