MM granting status to spouse/SO
For those of us who are MM, when can we grant our spouse/SO the status? Is it now, or do we have to wait until they sort out the integration? Would appear that it could be a simple thing to do now...

Thanks for the quick reply! That one is clear at least... Done my part... now let's let them do theirs!

I also notice my buddy ua1flyer was bumped up "only" 3MM, a much lower % than many others report.

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but I reached 1mm with the adjustment, will I get the SWU's for reaching 1mm since my lifetime balance was over 1 mm on December 31, 2011 or is United considering the adjustment effective January 1, 2012?

I received my final two CR-1s for 2011 (old rules) in accordance with united.com announcement "at the end of every year."
2012 is not part of the CR-1 earning for million-mile purposes.
Real million-milers should have received their final CR-1 for 2011 by this time. If you have not received them, a call to MP should solve the problem.

Anyway, they popped in overnight. My account is now "current".
(This does not mean that I'm not still upset about the failure of United to grandfather this benefit for pre-2012 Million Milers, though.)

Is the receipt of SWUs a benefit of lifetime 1k status (which UACO claims will be given after exceeding 3MM)? (i.e., are the SWUs given regardless of how many flights flown in the year?)

Pardon my sloppy terminology -- when I said "the two CR-1s for 2012" I meant the two CR-1s that would be valid for 2012. As a 1K, when I earned SWUs in the old days (where you had to wait until the beginning of the next year for them to post), I always considered and referred to them as being "for" the next year - the year they were valid, not the year they were earned. Sorry for any confusion.

I saw two additional CR-1s in my account also this morning. It was dated 31 Dec 2011. I guess UA has decided to continue to award MM 2 CR-1s.

The recalculation gave me an 18% bump and pushed me to 1mm. I never flew CO, but did sign up for all the promos the past decade. I won't be on UA much anymore as i'm not happy with their product - especially not getting upgraded with SWU.

A benefit that I might not have expected from the companion status but which I discovered this morning.
Now, my wife has skin in the game for my status, and that may be just the little nudge necessary for those years when I might need a last minute MR for 1K (like last year).
She actually feels a little bad now that she didn't let me do a last-second HKG to put me over 1K.
She did tell me that I could never leave her now, though, since she would never get the status on her own.
