My business is small but I have a handful of employees that fly enough to earn 1K. Our United for Business AE is offering us 1K status gift designations and is even mentioning Global Services designations to us. For medium and big companies I bet the deal is much sweeter. I can’t even get Delta to status match me to Diamond…
I think since the change from flying 100K miles it's been getting easier and easier. The spend requirement levels haven't really kept up with real inflation, so for corporate flyers those spend targets are just not that difficult.
