Bottomline, you could be talking hundreds of thousand dollars even if you already fly at Gold level. UA is the least easiest of the AA, DL and UA to use spend to get status. UA will be a little better in 2024 but still harder with UA than the others.

Thanks Wine Country.

I am flexible and I could either pool all of my East Asian C flights to UA, or keep spreading around (whatever is the best time for my travels). I'm just wondering if I can simply spend into 1K to save me the trouble of doing the calculations (I know to FTers it's natural and normal and you do it with ease, but for me, urgh...); since I'm a big spender, I am just curious. Someone in another post said half a million dollars, which is doable for me, but then another poster said 1K is bloated, like AA Exec Plat, so maybe not.

Thanks for your help.
