Same - 1K, although I think this will be last year of qualifying for it. I can stretch to $12K, but since I travel sort of on my own dime, that's looking like a limit. I'll have lifetime Gold beyond January 31 2017, for whatever that's worth at that time.

Global Services (5 years) to 1K. PQM > 100K, PQS > 120, BIS ~ 70K, PQD way above 1K requirement, but not impressive enough for GS review. All was premium cabin. Offered a GS challenge so hoping 2015 goes as follows: 2014 GS --> 2015 1K --> 2015 GS in three months.

1K to Plat.

Didn't have as much travel in 2014 as in 2013.

1) Same (2013/2014 Gold)
2) Barley make Gold each year
3) No MR, but needed the Chase waiver (spend was about $700 down)

2016: Lost a Europe business trip this year, may have to do a MR.

Gold to Plat
 

Gold to Plat. Gold wouldn't have been a problem. With severely reduced saver award availability for a couple flights, I decided to fork over cash instead for the bump up in status. Best case, I'll qualify gold this year.

Same. 1K.

Plat -> Gold due to fewer BIS miles, about half UA and half other *A.

From Gold to nothing.

After 8 years of UA elite, switched flying to DL out of Chicago due to reliability and poor customer service treatment. I'm happy connecting via DL and knowing that my flights will get in ontime. Would rather have a layover and trust I'll get in at scheduled time than nonstop on UA and being anxious (and treated badly).

Since you fly out of ORD, why is AA not an option for you?

Edit: I see you're AA gold too. So you fly DL when you can't fly AA?

Plat to 1K.

2014, One trip to Asia in Business Class added 26K PQM and $6K PQD.

2015, 25K PQM from one trip to Asia in Business Class. Good chance I'll maintain 1K.

Same 1K

1K to Plat. I met the PQM, but did not hit the PQD requirement. I'm only Platinum thanks to Chase CC waiver.

Same - Gold. Just barely. :)

GS to 1K

My multi-year project in APAC is over. I made gold, but United soft-landed me to 1K.

(1) Status remained the same (1K to 1K).

(2) No.

(3) N/A

(4) Status remained the same for two reasons - I'm hub captive for my routes (EWR based, don't like DL at all, AA don't fly where I want); Mileage Plus redemptions (ability to fly LH FC, saver awards) + GPU's are still a big drawcard for me to United. This year (2016) I will likely lose 1K, I feel.

^ to UA on that.
