I thought that UA lowered the 25,000 mile requirement because of the events of the year (2001). I recall that if you were close, as you were, and had made 2P in prior years, that they allowed you to continue at that level, as in your case, 2P. However, I may be wrong. I know of 2 friends whom were just a few thousand shy for 1P and they retained their 1P status.

PS- I think this post should be in the United forum, you might get better responces there, and welcome to Flyertalk
