Have been a 1K since 2011. Had 150K miles last year on 13k spend.
I know I am going against the flow here. But My GPUs always clear and never go to waste. I am very happy about that! CPUs not so much but it is a business and I understand. Few things get on my nerves from time to time but overall very happy with United but I am not at all happy about the new mileage rules starting March 1st :( Will be staying with United as I am pursuing the 1 MM mark mostly because partners such as Lufthansa, Air China and Turkish go to places I wanna go to. |

There is no "flow" here to go against. This thread is a POLL. Persons are simply reporting their status for 2015 and giving short responses why.

Silver (2014) to Gold (2015). In 2014, 37% PQM on UA. 63% on *A flights. Mostly international. UA and *A offer the most convenient options in SFO.
Has United Club Visa to meet PQD requirement. |
Decrease Gold to Silver
Reason: United flight schedules/costs at home airport (IAD) are less often superior or equal to alternatives. |
Status remained the same - Platinum
about 80k miles has just been about average for me over the last 4-5 years, whether I have overseas business class travel or exclusively domestic. Go figure. |
Still 1K
|
1K -> Plat
|
My husband and I are still 1K and plan to qualify for 1K next year. Managed to use all GPUs. We flew about 120,000 miles last year
We are captives of the LIH-SFO route, so we are pretty stuck on United. Flying almost monthly to "America". PQD were about 20K last year, thanks to some C class travel to europe. Not sure how it will go this year |
Gold in 2014, stayed Gold in 2015. I had to do some mini-MRs (BWI-BOS in four segments, four example), but consider it worth it right now.
|
Increased from silver to platinum.
Reason: Business travel included an unusual amount of trips to the West Coast, plus a vacation to HNL. Will likely drop back down to silver or maybe gold in 2016. |
1K --> 1P MM
|
Plat to Gold. Just missed on PQM but missed by a fair amount on PQD. Don't expect to be able to make increased PQDs for Plat for next year either....
|
Partner and I each dropped from Plat to Silver for 2015.
Lost revenue on * carriers and conscious decision to fly most convenient instead of chasing status on UA. |
Still 100% leisure 1K
