GS "eligibility" doesn't necessarily go by qualifying miles, dollars or any of the typical criteria. Invites go to company decision makers, influencers and those in high-profile roles that travel in paid premium classes of service. We're talking VPs, CEOs, Corp Travel Mgrs, Partners in firms, politicians, etc. I can't believe they even offer this reconsideration thing. I think it's the first time ever. I worked at UA for 15 years and of all the years that GS was around, it was never something you could ask to be considered for. Maybe they'll offer GS as a paid option for more ancillary revenue!!! #sarcasm

If it were much more manual I'd be worried for UA's sake.

Just sent my request... hopefully my ~$40,000 PQD @ $0.42/BIS mile on UA metal will make the cut.
This would result in me upping a TPAC booking to J and booking another TATL in J vs. going with the cheapest ticket possible on any airline in J (which is not UA for the TATL).

Not sure how they evaluate, but I would hope they look at my bookings for the next month (already have $5,000 in base fare booked with another booking to come)... plenty more to come in Feb if I convert that TPAC to J.... GS would certainly prompt me to stick with this plan and book my future J class TATL plans on UA metal.

I think my stats are pretty good. On the other hand, if there is a review / challenge, I'm flying out on 1/13 and I'd like that flight to count so I wouldn't want to wait too long.
Decisions, decisions.
