This thread is for those that have not received affirmative notification of 2015 GS notification. So far appears to be only renewals and not new qualifiers. Question about how and when further selections will be made and posting of status for feedback is appropriate for this thread.
For general discussion of GS benefits and what is need for qualification, please use Consolidated Global Services Thread - Qualifications, Benefits and Q & A [2015]
This multi-thread approach is because a few members have asked for this separation to see if some trends / criteria for section can be determined.

It sounds like quite a few of those were for those that were accepted into GS unknowingly before submitting a reconsideration... based on what I have read in these forums so far.....
I, however, was not chosen in UA's "natural selection" process. I doubt I am one of those 250.... well... maybe I shouldn't doubt, but I feel it is not likely, especially since I was not chosen outright, and I simply received a declination notice in the email yesterday.... with that clarification, it is less likely that a mistake in my case (as much as I hate to say that).....

Called MP yesterday afternoon in response to this message... they told me that there is nothing they can do from the standpoint of enrolling me in the challenge. In fact, I was told on 2 separate phone calls that MP (via the 1k line) has no knowledge of the GS process, selection process, or the emails that have ben circulating. They were, however, able to send a new reconsideration request. Not banking much hope on this.

I am still trying to figure out the approximate cut-off
Does everyone on this thread have an opinion? There are various threads related to GS. It seem like everyone who spent at least $50k n 2014 made GS, and unfortunately people who spent in the mid $40's did not. I have not studied every thread, but does it appear like the cut-off turned out to be around$48k?

There is no absolute cut-off, above which all were accepted and below which all were denied.
UA does not publish its criteria and there appears to be a significant degree of subjectivity.

That conclusion is not supported by the reports. Some with spend in the $50 and $60k range were denied, while some with spend in the high $30 to mid $40k range were accepted.
