Will Million Milers get PlusPoints?
Yes. Members eligible to receive upgrades with their Million Miler status will receive PlusPoints in place of Regional Premier Upgrades and Global Premier Upgrades.

United years back promised in writing all Million Milers would get "2 x Regional Upgrades a year for life" on the UA website, and later reneged on that promise. So not sure what exactly they refer to above? Does anyone know?

Is anyone included in that group? 2MM and higher?

2MM flyers who do not otherwise qualify for Platinum will receive 40 PlusPoints.
3MM+ flyers who do not otherwise qualify for 1K will receive 280 PlusPoints.

This is the same as it's been in the past, applying the UA conversion factor of 1 RPU = 20 PlusPoints and 1 GPU = 40 PlusPoints.

I don’t see any speed difference for unredeemed GPU/RPU or earned threshold instruments for crossing 1K or additional 25k incremental GPU’s. I usually get ready to call about the time they post.

Just requalified for 1K...just wondering when I can expect the points to post to account.

PlusPoints? -- typically 2-3 days, sometimes less, no more than a week.

At the very end of the year, it can take longer.

I qualified for Lifetime Premier Platinum in late Oct when I passed the 2mm BIS mark. My account shows the status, and upon calling United in Nov, I was told I’d be receiving the new upgrade perks of 40 points. In Dec, I called about the Points Plus, and was told the system was having issues, but they should appear within the month. I had been hoping to use 20 of them to upgrade a flight I had booked to Paris in late Jan, but since they were a no show, I used miles instead. Today I called again and was now told that my Premier Platinum status would end on Jan 31, and I would go down to Silver?? The rep was adamant that I would not be receiving any points and that my status would go down. I asked to speak with a supervisor, and after a long hold, the same rep came back on to say, yes I would remain Premier Platinum Lifetime and would receive my PP 40 after Jan 31.

I guess that's what you call a human glitch, getting Bonvoyed, poorly trained staff, or just plain old poor service. Only your persistence saved you.

Generally, the Lifetime members upgrade benefits (if not earned in the previous year) will post in early to mid-January.

Asking questions like this of reservation agents is usually not very fruitful, as they are not trained on these benefits and do not deal with them. The MP Service Center folks are somewhat better but even on Lifetime benefits, they can be spotty.

Thank you ( also for moving the post). I had originally called about a reservation, and when I asked about PP, I was transferred to the MP area. But to be honest, it was around 8am today, and it might have been a bit early for them. Oddly though, I'd spoken with various MP reps about the issue for PP & Lifetime Platinum, and this morning was the first time 1/31 was mentioned.

I requalified for UA 1K with flights 12/31/19, which have been credited to my account. I am wondering when I will receive my PlusPoints for 2020. Thanks.

WineCountryUA

Normally it can take 2-5 days and maybe a week. But during the yearend changes (and especially given the program changes) it has taken a week or 2.
Lots of history in this history.

I went over one of the bonus hurdles on 12/31 and the extra 40 +P were credited by the next day.

WakeTurbulence

Same here. My final qualification flight posted 12/31 and I have yet to see my new PlusPoints.

I am getting anxious to get my hands on my 2020 PlusPoints, so I finally decided to phone MileagePlus. I was told it will take 1-2 weeks for these to be credited to my account and this usually happens on weekends. Of course in prior years, it only took a day or so to get my GPU/RPUs.
