To Qualify:
Classic Plus card holders need to reach 40.000 Status Miles within 12 consecutive months in order to qualify for Elite Membership and Elite Card order is given automatically to the address that is registered in our systems. Elite Card is valid for 2 years.
Renewal:
In order to re-qualify for Elite membership , Members residing in Turkey need to collect 30.000 Status Miles either within the first year or 45.000 Status Miles within 2 years of the Elite membership.
Members residing out of Turkey need to collect 25.000 Status Miles either within the first year or 37.500 Status Miles within 2 years of the Elite membership. Otherwise, the membership status will be renewed as "Classic Plus".
I am actually debating whether go with TK or OZ *G. Looks to me OZ *G is much easier for UA fliers. With OZ, it needs 100000 to reach *G (no time limit) and 40000 to requalify in 3 year. and pretty much all UA booking class get 100% on OZ.
