I'm a sad 2 PQF short of retaining Gold for 2024 (I'm set on PQP). Does anyone have any experience with buy-up status fees for such a small shortfall? It's about $400 RT anywhere for me to get those final two segments before the end of the year, but I'm guessing it may still be less expensive than what United may charge. Either way, I don't want to lose out on Gold next year - it's too much of an improvement over Silver, especially as I expect to travel a great deal more in '24.

Any thoughts?

Thanks!
I would expect UA buy to significant exceed $400 unless your PQP is very nearly the Gold, 10K PQP only, number.

No one has any idea of UA's algorithm for 2024 buy up but you can review the 2023 thread, 2023 UA MP elite status buy-up offers(for higher status than earned in 2022)
