I have earned 1K for 2026 - but unclear about 2027.... would like to use them for 2027 status
and probably gift some for 2026 to family.... I know my sister needs some PQP for 2026 status

this all seems too complicated.....

Keep in mind if you gift status to someone/family I am pretty sure if you use your 1/31/2026 points the gifted status also ends at 1/31/2026. I am in the same boat with hundreds expiring worthless then as well but since my options are limited I will probably just upgrade my daughter for what will be no more than two RT trips with UA between now and the end of the year. It is either do this or really eat them.
