"Four Paid Flights"
Last year I flew little and dropped down to general member. This year, I already have >25,000 PQM. 4 segments on UA, but not 4 itineraries. All PQM miles have posted, but I'm still listed as "member." For a while.
According to new rules, "four paid flights" on UA (or Copa) are required to qualify for status. I had interpreted this as 4 segments. What does "four paid flights" means? Is it four segments, and they are just delayed in assigning status? is it 4 itineraries? Is it 4 one-way portions?

What does it mean to "accept and acknowledge" the flight times changes United has made.
United has changed my flights for a reservation in May - I attempted to change my flights on-line on the manage reservation page. This page only offers me the option to "accept and acknowledge" the flight times changes United has made. At least 2 of my 6 flights don't connect now, and depending on the flights available the whole reservation may be destroyed.
I have sent two emails - but I am not holding my breath. Still have not heard from the last 4 emails I sent about 2 months ago.

I have recently used an RPU (waitlisted) for an IAD-LAX-HNL trip and I was just wondering the following:
1. Is the fare class I need to watch RN or R or both?
2. Does the RPU automatically clear once the proper fare class becomes available or do I need to call (assuming that my RPU is first in the waitlist)?
3. Is it possible to be upgraded via CPU before the RPU clears or will the RPU always process first?
4. If the RPU fails to clear by T-24, how do I get back on the upgrade list?
Thanks.
p.s. I just signed up for an ExpertFlyer trail membership to watch the fare class and it seems pretty cool so far

2. It is automatic, but not instantaneous. It will clear a couple to several hours after R becomes available.
3. RPU will clear first.
4. You will still be on the upgrade waitlist with RPU priority. It is just that it will be transferred from the EUA/UDU waitlist to the airport upgrade list.

Has anyone had success waitlisting for an alternate reward flight post SHARES? I've called twice and the agents say they can no longer do that (I assume they were PMUA agents). Or maybe these two agents just didn't know how to do it?

First page shown when you log into united.com
Does anyone know how to control the first page shown after you login to united.com. I always come up in the "MileagePlus Account Update" page. I would prefer to come up in the home page. Thx.

But I come up in the "MileagePlus Account Update" page. It makes me think that the site wants me to finish or change my profile, yet it is complete!
