How does this work?
If you use any MP branded Chase credit card and accumulate more then $25,000 of qualified purchases in a calendar year, you will be exempt from the PQD requirement for Premier Silver, Gold or Platinum status. It does not apply to 1K qualification.
Note: PresidentPlus primary cardholders are inherently exempt and do not have a minimum spend requirement.
When is the UA site updated with latest Chase numbers?
Consensus (2017) is this is done weekly but unclear if the same day of the week for everyone (Many believe it is Friday with spend thru the previous weekend)
Over what time period is the spending measured?
The calendar year of the activity, not the billing period based.
What cards are included?
All Chase MileagePlus branded cards including the legacy cards.
Is the Chase TravelBank Card included? Appears yes
For those with multiple cards, it is cumulative spending across all eligible cards that is counted.
Where can I see my year to date spend?
Go to mystatus.united.com, sign in, find on the righthand side "See My Chase Spend" and click on the button
Only visible for those with an eligible card and subject to the PQD requirement (USA residents). When qualified for Plat and 1K is the next level, the PQD waiver no longer applies.
Does the waiver work for authorized cardholders?
No, only the primary account cardholder.
There is only one UA MP account associated with Chase credit cards.

I am a good shopper. The point here is that I have done my part in meeting the new elite qualification requirements and UA is not doing its part by updating my status "on a weekly basis." If UA can temporarily give status to people doing challenges, why do they claim they don't have the ability to give me "temporary" gold status, based on verbal confirmation from Chase and pending my next credit card posting?
Yes, I already messaged UA Insider. I truly hope he can resolve this issue.

Ya, that was my point. If the OP has already racked up 50k miles they should hit 100k by April and (as someone else noted) be close to 600k miles by the end of the year. Even if you're flying the cheapest fares around you'll surpass the PQD retirement for 1k easily. So why worry about the credit card waiver?
There is a long list of IT issues that impact a lot more people that UA should be focusing on over this. (Ex. making the on-line flight change system more usable during IRROPS).

I find this particular OP's MO odd. Apparently no (or only Silver) status on UA but then flies 50K miles in a month, at less than 2 cpm, on an airline with a concerted focus on getting rid of such folks.

This will be moot in 2015 when the waiver amount will go up and Gold bennies trimmed anyway

MRing aside, I would too be pissed if I had 50k PQM but had zero status with United until my next CC statement posts. Particularly true if I had another 25k miles booked between now and that time that I then have to fly as a nobody or a silver instead of a gold...
Not saying there are a ton of people out there in this situation, but up to 30 days until status updates is too long.

I can certainly appreciate that some people don't like how I earned these miles. But I did earn them. I have looked and can't find any place on the UA website that says that the waiver is based on when my CC posts - that would be on a monthly basis for everyone. I only see where it says that it updates weekly.
Yes, it's mid-February. But later in the year, others will be in the same situation. And it would benefit them to understand that UA's position is that they will not be granted the credit card waiver until posting. This will allow them to proactively plan their credit card purchases so as not to be in the position I am in now.

UAInsider is looking to see if there's anything he can do, which I do appreciate.
