As a comparitive stat, approximately 11.7 million members are active in the Mileage Plus program. That is 11.7m ACTIVE members. There are around 60 million actual MP members IIRC.
Note that the secret level is called "United Global Services" and I heard that it is now has posted that a UGS member who spends $50K with the airline is guarunteed to get UGS level again the next year.
