Additional GPUs
I have a question regarding the GPU process. Here is my timeline.
Last year I became 1K for the first time and received my normal GPU deposit. When I read the policy, it appears to me that every 50K thereafter would result in an additional 2 GPUs regardless of if it's in the same year of the 1K status achievement.
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks

I've talked to a lot of people who are confused by this the first time they make a higher status.

Right - as of Jan. 1, you started again at zero PQM, and would need to reach 100k for 6 more GPUs (for 2014 flying), and would then receive another 2 for each 50k PQM in 2014.

Thanks everyone, the way it was written online was vague to me as it doesn't specify it's same calendar year.
"Luckily" I have a very poor hit rate on getting these GPUs to clear this year so I still have 4 of them in the bank

I asked in the GPU thread but no one answered.
I just got 2 GPUs in my account yesterday that expire on 1/31/15.
I'm at $10,141 PQD and 65,000 miles.
Why?

My guess is that the GPUs were a mistake and will be removed. I thought I remembered seeing earlier (1 month ago? 2 months ago?) postings to the same effect and the GPUs were removed.

It was the day that my PDQ went over 10k so I was thinking maybe that's what triggered the flub.

Did you receive a targeted promotion earlier in the year maybe? If not, then yes, it's a glitch and they'll probably take away. Thought I would check on the promotion though as UA seems to be giving those away these days to some fliers.

I'll be over $10k PQD when (if) my last 2 LH flights post. At 38k PQM so it will be interesting to see if I get the GPUs too.

I've had well over $10K in PQDs for a few months but relatively low on PQMs (now around 66k) and qualifying by PQSs. I haven't received anything other thing 1 RPU from a targeted promo a few months back. Finally made it to Platinum today but won't cross 1K for another month or two.

Not that I was/am aware of. For a second I thought something happened to my EWR-TXL-BRU-EWR flights with the TATLs upgraded at booking with GPUs because I noticed the 2 extras when I was doing OLCI last night.
