Just got an email to say I'm being invited to join the community and should receive login credentials in the next 7-10 business days.
I'm an EU-based Plat for the last 3 years. I'll only make Gold this year as I've been relocated to the US now and practically all my trips were TATL.
Anyone else?

Received my notice today as well. I've been Platinum for 7 years, and in OnePass since 1985. Unless I do a $10K mileage run, looks like I'll have to pass on PresPlat.

No love for this Plat/CO* with annual spend in excess of 10k.

They even apologized for the screw up with the FF entry in the initial survey.
Dear Numexbigjim
We would like to thank you for taking the time to complete the United Fliers Community questionnaire. We realize your time is valuable and we appreciate your willingness to join the United Fliers Community - it's an exciting step towards creating the new United Airlines.
It came to our attention that there was an error at the conclusion of the questionnaire when entering your Continental OnePass number. While the error was quickly corrected, we realize these events were both an inconvenience and frustration for you. On behalf of everyone at the new United Airlines, I'd like to express our sincerest apologies.
Based on your initial responses to the questionnaire you have qualified to join the United Fliers Community. Pending final review you will receive notification of your login credentials within the next 7-10 business days. We are excited to welcome you to the United Fliers Community!

I got the same. I am UK based, Plat w/ 125K EQM this year, got my 1MM last year, but alas, revenue challenged, (<$25K). so it does not appear to be only the PPlats.

No invite here either and strangely enough most of my CO credited travel this year has been on UA.

I am a UA member of the United Fliers Community and have been for the last 8 months or so. I was told once by one of the UA staff/moderators of that board that invitations were sent out randomly to 1K/GS. A small number are given special invitations to join. I am a member so it certainly can't be based on spend 
A couple of weeks ago, they had a United Call Center tour thing in Chicago. It was very nice and well done. There were 3 FT folks there (at least), including myself. They talked about CO plats joining and were looking forward to your participation.

This infinite plat hasn't heard back, either.
The reason I'm most interested in joining is to learn a bit more about UA. I'm frankly not an expert on "doing business" with that airline. Over the years, I've had a somewhat negative impression of UA, largely due to their aloof and "random" management and India call center. But I already have 25K miles booked on UA metal for next year, most of it booked directly through UA. So, one way or the other, I'm going to learn a lot more about flying UA -- quickly!

I'm in, as a Plat headed for 100k this year. On first glance, less going on than this forum.
