  • Offer apparently targeted at UA elites who flew US last year and credited miles to MileagePlus (possibly targeted only at those who bought premium tickets on US and credited to MP). You can only register for a promotion for which you were targeted, so this will only help if you were targeted but for some reason didn't get or lost the email.
  • No offer for people whose primary address is non-US
  • 4 RPU + 4 UC passes

  • Some 1Ks get 4 RPUs + 20K PQM
    http://news.united.com/servlet/formlink/f?JHQSTCTY
  • Some 1Ks get 4 RPUs only, no PQM

  • Platinums get instant upgrade to 1K till 05/31 with 35K miles challenge for entire 2014 (+4RPU)

  • Golds get instant upgrade to Platinum till 05/31 with 18K miles challenge for entire 2014 (+2RPU)

  • Slivers get instant upgrade to Gold till 05/31 with 12.5K miles challenge for entire 2014 (+15,000 bonus award miles also)

Thank you. The fact that your MP card in the app reflected a new end date (and mine still said "Trial Status" even after I qualified) had me a bit concerned and I didn't want to wait if this took time to resolve. I just called the Premier Priority Desk. The rep said there was some kind of glitch with my account and fixed it on the spot. I had to login and logout of my account to see the updated status. Now my card in the app shows Gold with a 1/2015 expiration date as well.

Glad to hear it was fixed, MattR23.

Still nothing on the 20K bonus miles for having met the 12,500 miles during the trial period though. I'll wait another few weeks (beyond 5/31) to see if they post and check back here to see whether others' have.

Mine stayed Gold and my app card also no longer says Trial status. I wish I could get them to send me a card or a luggage tag or something. That card in the app isn't going to do any good when I'm in a a country in an airport without wifi.

That's a good idea, but I've been a couple places dealing with partner airlines where they didn't even really understand the app at all and I really wished I had the card then!

Another data point here...

I was platinum and got the 1K challenge back in February. I flew 37,000 United PQMs during the challenge period exceeding the 35,000 PQM threshold. My status reverted to platinum last night. I have an email into 1Kvoice to see what's going on and will report back.

They also owe you 2 extra RPU's.

5. Registered members who successfully complete qualifying travel will also receive 2 Regional Premier® Upgrades after the promotion period ends on May 31, 2014.

Here is the response I got from 1Kvoice this morning. Any reason to follow up or should I just wait? Seems like others got their new permanent status immediately.

Today I received the Premier Gold card and luggage tag in the mail from qualifying for this promotion. I wasn't sure whether I would or not, so it was a nice surprise. Expiration date on the card is 1/31/2015.

Incidentally, I'm now very close to the regular qualification criteria for Premier Gold. It's been nice to have it early.

I just got mine in the mail too. Wasn't expecting to get anything, and I'll definitely be losing it in 2015, so good to have for now. Someone stole my Silver tag in China, so hopefully this sticks around.
