as well as this...

[b]Here's a sneak preview of 2004:[b]

It's more rewarding than ever to reach elite status.

* 2,500 redeemable miles awarded to Premier members with 25,000 flight miles*3 or 30 flight segments earned in 2003.
* 10,000 redeemable miles awarded to Premier Executive members with 50,000 flight miles*3 or 60 flight segments earned in 2003.


Systemwide Upgrades (SWUs) for Premier Executive 1K members.

* Six SWUs for 1Ks with 100,000 Elite Qualifying Miles or 100 Elite Qualifying Segments in 2003.
* Two additional SWUs for 1Ks with 100,000 flight miles*3 or 100 flight segments in 2003.
* In 2004, SWUs will be electronic rather than paper certificates, making them easier to track and use throughout the year.
* 2004 SWUs will be eligible for travel in Region 1 from all booking classes except Z and G, and in Region 2 from all booking classes except Z, S, T, K, L and G.


More rewards for Million Mile Flyers.

* Two Confirmed Regional Upgrades for members with one million lifetime flight miles*3 on United or United Express.


There's a new plus for flying United in 2004.

Starting 1 January 2004, you have a new opportunity to earn more Systemwide Upgrades:
* Two SWUs as soon as you fly 125,000 flight miles*3 or 125 flight segments during 2004.
* Two additional SWUs when you fly 150,000+ flight miles*3 or 150+ flight segments during 2004.


Earn 2005 elite status faster...by miles and segments.

Starting 1 January 2004, class-of-service bonus miles and segments will count toward elite status. The 50% mileage bonus you enjoy when flying in United First and the 25% mileage bonus in United Business will be added to your total 2004 Elite Qualifying Miles balance. Plus, earn new class-of-service bonus segments when flying in United First (50% bonus) and United Business (25% bonus).

<sigh> I wish I got this kind of recognition...
