How dare you! Us UA loyalist had to spend hundreds of dollars annually on k fares just too make the grade! Certainly we're the least likely to exhibit kettle qualities like bare feet or dropping wine glasses on the floor of showers!

Hopefully not a silly question but I just gotta ask: What's the point of lounge passes? If you already get lounge access and can guest someone in to a * lounge as a AC*Gold what's the point? I don't see other airlines like UA offering such a benefit! What am I missing here?

What I cannot agree with is saying the AC lounges are worse than the UA lounges when they clearly aren't. Be it the lack of showers, limited food options or crowded premises UAs Dom lounges don't hold a candle to Dom MLL. I haven't been to AA or DL lounges since I'm a * flyer but from what I hear they may be worse than UA in so e respects (i.e. paying for food at Aadmirals lounges).
If we're comparing J fare lounges then sure you may have a point there. I haven't been to any since i always fly k fares on UA.

select privileges - when/how to select for 2019
I’ve already requalified for S100K , think it's been a month. How can we select privileges for 2019? In the past , I believe I would just log into Altitude and select a tab. I don’t see this tab. Am I just not seeing it?
Anyone with the same issue or who can point me in the correct dircetion?
Any advice appreciated

The red button can appear very quickly or...very slow.
With the AQD issue of the past three weeks, I am sure this is related.
Patience is required with AC IT.

I thought that after the Oct 31 deadline is for early qualifications, selections for privileges for the following year don't really come into play until the new qualification year - March 2019?
I know AC does periodic sweeps before the new year but this is not guaranteed.
I'm in a similar boat. I had met my SE qualifications at the beginning of December but except for the extra e-ups for meeting the 100K AQM threshold, wasn't really expecting to see the "red button" until the next sweep, whenever that may be.

One would think there wouldn't be sweeps.
When the requisite AQ M/S/D posted, your status would just instantly change.
