We generally believe you need BIS to calculate cpm, not PQM.

A question:

Is GS spent based on all $ spent (including those on cheap fares) or just Y/B and above fares?

All non tax/fee $ (but including "fuel surcharges")

Bummed at 200K PQM
 
Happy for all of you that made it. Me, not so much. I was sure that at > 200K PQM I would make it. Not sure what spend was but at least $50K. I buy a lot of full fare economy and then get the "PN" comp upgrade as well as several paid business class trips to Europe.

I really consolidated my travel on UA this year as the GPU would be great to have. Ugh.

That's possibly surprising. What was your BIS mileage (far more useful than PQM), and where are you based? Was it all actual UA metal? These are the keys...

Any other recent notifications? They seem to have stopped for now. Perhaps they're doing a second wave and/or scrutinizing people on the borderline.

I still haven't heard one way or another. GS for 5 straight years. 2013 travel was $48K spend, 230K PQM, 130 PQS, probably around 150K BIS, fares almost entirely domestic full fare Y with 2 Asia trips in C. SFO based.

App GS Date is Gone ???
 
My United App was showing GS good through 1/15 - I first qualified for the 2013 year. I called the GS desk to confirm I had re-qualified for 2014 since I had not received an email or letter ... got put on hold for 5 minutes and agent came back and said yes. Wake up today and date is gone (no date showing, not even original 1/2014 date) ... anyone else see this? Wondering if my GS was reversed? Thx.

It seems more if an app update, the dates have been removed from all card levels...it probably is a fix for the glitch that displays 2015 expiring dates for membership who didn't re qualify for all levels..if you were told you requalified for GS, then I wouldn't worry about the date on the app cards

Just look at reproduction of MP card displayed in app when you scroll over almost all the way to the right.

I have looked all through the Android app and cannot find a card. Do you think it is different on the Galaxy S4?

The Android app doesn't have a membership card...so far, I only see it on my iPhone/IPAD app

Thanks

Only a little :p
I've noticed that dates have dropped off app and "print duplicate card" on website. I got the renewal email a few weeks ago so no worries, sure it's more IT "enhancement"...

Had a missed call from Houston, TX yesterday and tonight's status changed to GS from 1k.

Online card shows valid till 1/14 though...

Should I be worried that it is a mistake?

270k pqm and around 60-70k pqd
