Agent advised that a PP benefit allows us to book 5 day packages vs 7 day packages at lesser points. She mentioned it was only available to MVC owners and Marriott PP (not regular platinum).

Can't tell if I'm PP this year or not. Account still shows PP, however I haven't received any type of notification by email or mail. Although, I received my UA Gold package and welcome email again for this year.

I too am a PP for the second year in a row and just got an email from United stating that they are renewing my silver status. I would like to know if it's silver or gold we should be expecting.

Considering they're not issuing gold to new PPs (me) or some other people who were PP last year and did not get gold, if they "claw it back" there isn't much recourse. I spoke with both UA and Marriott and both state only silver.

Last year as a PP I received this on 2-16-15: "Welcome to another year of exclusive rewards and MileagePlus Premier Silver status," and not until 5-30-15 received this: "Congratulations, you've been elevated to MileagePlus Premier Gold status."

This link will take you to an image of your UAL card. Might want to screen shot it in case they try to claw back the gold status.
Yes, mine have been posted. If I remember correctly it happened a couple weeks ago.

Have to love PP... Noticed that my room at SFO was upgraded to waterfront room last week. A few days before check in it was changed to "club lounge" room (SFO has an M lounge in the lobby). When I checked in, they claimed no waterfront rooms were available, despite a dummy booking showing otherwise.
Oh well... Hopefully a gold memeber got my "old" room.
I fully expect this is related to the fact my corporate rate was over $120/night less than the standard rate.

IIRC last year there were reports of Marriott Lifetime Platinums getting *A *Gold from UA. Could that explain how some people here seem to be getting UA *Gold and others UA *Silver. It sounds strange that Marriott would give better benefits to LTP than PP but perhaps *Gold from UA is only going to those who are both LTP and PP.
Do we have any data points to confirm or deny this?
BTW, I'll be annoyed if I don't get *Gold again as it was the reason I decided not to renew my A3 *Gold status. Since Hyatt sends out a couple UA lounge passes (unfortunately UA lounges don't accept PP, so one of the advantages of *Gold status from an airline other than UA was admission to UA lounges when flying UA domestic itineraries).

My next three hotels overseas (end of feb, and two in March) have already been upgraded.
No room is over $200 USD per night.
