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.

I keep hearing people talking about the following message:
We are still finalizing our Global ServicesSM invitations for 2015. Please check back after January 12. Reserved for our top-tier Premier members, Global Services status is based on many criteria, most notably how your flight activity compares to others'. This exclusivity helps us deliver the best possible service to our very best customers.
Is this message only showing up for renewals who are on the bubble? I would be considered a first timer as I have not been GS for many years, but for those of us who are looking to make the cut as non-renewals are you all getting any message like this? I am $44.5k right now and sadly I just had to cancel another $4k in spend and am probably done for the year as DEN based. I am still hoping I have a chance, I figured at $48 I was in for sure given my domestic spending patterns, however I am worried still being under $45,000. Anyone getting special messages like that who only 1K right now?

So has no one new qualified yet does anyone know, seems like just renewals?
Where is this message about " we are still reviewing gs status and check back January 15" showing up and is it just existing GS that haven't got 2015 yet?

You are correct -- that message shows up for existing GS members who have not yet re-qualified. However, I believe the date is January 12.

Well, I have been in GS since day one ,by next week I will have $56.5k and 318,000 and spent $60 plus inc the family
and I am wait listed for consideration Jan 12th, I asked to try and advise me earlier of my status so I can make travel plans,as customer retention seems not to be a priority for UA marketing , I was just given Ex Plat without a challenge and booked $14k is int biz with AA in January.....enough of this

I want to confirm your situation. I believe you've been GS for about ten years, and UA has probably treated you like a king as a result (they sure have taken care of me!). I believe you're concerned that your spend may not get you a renewal for 2015. With your long history of being GS, and your fairly healthy spend, you should make it through the later draft manual review. Even if you don't, you'll be offered a challenge offer (probably $15k) to keep GS for 2015. If you're spending $14k in January alone, this shouldn't be an issue for you to hit. Just be a bit patient, not getting very early notification shouldn't be sufficient reason to leave an airline.
I also tried AA ExP in 2014. It was refreshing to try something new and different, but ultimately AA ExP cannot compare to GS. Also, AA flies horrible aircraft on the routes that I fly, so I won't be trying to renew ExP.

I am hoping I renew...
IAH Based
PQD: ~$47K
PQM: 190,000
PQS: 128
I recently was promoted and will be spending a ton of time in the middle east. I need to book travel in January and making GS will determine if I fly UA or not. With the A380 nonstop on Emirates from IAH now, it would be tough to fly UA through IAD!

Assuming someone else is paying for your flights, I'm wondering why in the world you wouldn't fly Emirates to Dubai - GS or no GS on United! Connecting at Dulles is such a pain, not to mention flying on A320's or 737s for 6 hours of each round trip!

Because I still will be flying at least 75k miles domestically. GS is worth to avoid the cluster of a boarding process on its own!
