Obviously the GS program is important to UA, otherwise why even do it. And from everything I've read, $50K seems to be the primary qualification threshold. From this agents comments, if UA are preparing for an increase in numbers, then a lot more members have spent this.
I know personally, this is my highest spend year on UA. I decided about a year ago that I would only buy domestic F and I wont fly longhaul in Y under any circumstances. I work for myself so the domestic pricing works for me, For longhaul, I split between buying Premium Economy and using PP or depending on the fare, will buy revenue J. Based on my spend this year ($55K net UA metal), I might qualify for GS and I might not. Honestly I cant fault 1K at all. It works for me.
