I read through the last 3 months of posting, and am confused, by seeming contradictory posts.
1. Should I wait until after 1/1/08 to request match/ challange? (the quote above makes sense though)
2. Are all UA's now challange only, not matches?
3. Do they have different challange levels for Premier exec and 1k?
4. Does 1 k match/ challange still exist?
5. Will all star alliance flights count on the challange or just UA ( I probbaly have a SFO to AKL on NZ in Q1 2008).
6. Are phone requests accepted or only email, if so what # or address?
thanks much
1. I would ask for a match now. If they say yes it should be good through 02/09
2. Hard to say, but it certainly seems UA is moving more towards a fly x miles in y amount of time. I do not believe matches no longer exist at this point.
3. UA is not at a point where the challenges are spelled out like AA. Some seem to get different threshold/time levels to complete Premier and sometimes Premier Exec.
4. There is no challenge for 1k, never was.
5. Word on the street is that it is only UA/UX to qualify, but again, it depends on the individual information you will receive from UA.
6. Check the UA sticky or use search in the UA forum.
