Is it possible to achieve Star Alliance Gold status with the United Club Infinite Card? If so, how? If not, can I purchase Star Alliance Gold status through United agents? What are the easiest ways to obtain Star Alliance Gold status without flying frequently with United? Please advise, thank you.
UA does not outright sell status, but you can achieve with a lot of credit card activity.
At a minimum UA status requires 4 actual UA operated flights of any length.
If you wanted to use credit card PQPs alone to achieve the 12,000 PQPs for Premier Gold/*G. you would have to charge $180K on the United Club Infinite Card.
How do you plan to use *G status? Do you plan any flying other than the 4 required UA operated flights?
