The Consolidated "Is United 1K Status Worth It?" Thread [Merged]

Hi,
Any advice appreciated regarding the following:
I usually use 3 *A airlines, namely UA, SQ and LH. Up until now I had the following strategy of depositing miles: UA goes to M+ (due to 100% Prem Ex bonus) and SQ/LH goes to M&M (due to 25% executive bonus).
This year would be first one when I will be able to reach 1K should I deposit cumulative mileage to M+ account. By doing that I will lose approx. 12500 miles.
Question, is it worth doing, i.e. does cumulative benefits of 1K worth the miles. Paraphrasing, if you will be given choice to buy 1K status with 12500 *A miles, would you do it?
AX
