Gone are my days of flying paid C transcons. Even further are the times when I used to fly paid C to CDG and LHR.

Folks, I won't even make Premier this year, much less retain PPS on SQ. My Kris gold is expiring too (i'd like to see SQ comp me, yeah right). At least I still have my job.

I called MP to see if I would make it for the loyalty program, and they said No! .

Here's my case:
I made Premier in Febuary 2000 and Exec (at over 68K) October (same year). Apparently I have to be at least a premier for 2 years to qualify, making both Premier and Exec in the same year doesn't cut it.

I have over 13K real status miles now(no double promo here).

I DO HOWEVER have :
ticked and paid for but will soon expire OPEN full Y tickets STL-ORD-HKG-SIN, unused which I cannot use. I don't have the time to do a mileage run, but If I did use that ticket I'd more than cut it for at least a premier (with double stats, hell ya!)

I also have a few short hops (tickets paid for, unused and expired) that I never used because of changed plans and cant get any money back because they are non refundable.
Burnt travel budget.

Now if I took those trips (paid for, mind you), I'd make at least premier with no comps this year. I just can't do the trips because I do longer need to and don't have the time.

I'd like to keep some status (I anticipate flying more next year). More importantly I'd like to see the stock I bought at 35 go back to some decent level. Any suggestions to plead my case to United?
