Same - Silver

Gold -> Platinum

I actually like UA and wanted to see what Platinum would offer me over Gold. I also thought that there were many defectors and perhpas a bettr CPU rate for those whome remained loyal to UA

Question: will award bookings I have for post 2/1 still give me Star Gold Benefits? When you view receipt/itinerary, it still says "Star Gold" at the top, so I'm hoping for use of lounges at LAX...

Nope. Your Boarding Pass will reflect your current status at the time you print which I assume will no longer be Star Alliance Gold.

Stayed 1K

Expect 1K for 2016 and MM

Gold -> nothing

Had over 50,000 PQM again, but not nearly enough PQD. Trying to fly AS/partners as much as possible now.

Drop from Gold to Silver. Killer was EQM was 50,003 flown.

Only temporary - as I'll hit MM in about 3 months.

Quick purchased 6 roundtrips on 1/31 while still Gold to get E+ for upcoming trips as Silver.

1K > 1K
Used 5 of 6 GPU and 2 of 6 RPU last year
Hope to make 1K or at least Plat this year depending on how much I travel (fly almost exclusively UA and * partners)

Lifetime 1K to Lifetime 1K :D

Probably will fly several flights (max) on UA when it is necessary as a IAH based flyer. Will stay with my AA EXP and OW flying to Asia.

Ditto, 1K -> Silver. I had 37k EQM with $7700 EQD.

Just a slower year than usual at the office and a beancounter forced me onto DL for one international RT. :mad: Hopefully only temporary as my planned travel should be higher.

Could not justify a MR given the few benefits of Gold as I have Clear and often fly paid international C. Also expect to hit the 75k max RDM per flights under the new MP rules. ^

However, definitely not favoring UA for leisure travel in 2015 given the lack of 1K perks (not that they meant much anyway).

1K to 1K via 3 million mile Lifetime benefit. Flew less than 40K miles on UA and enjoyed little of it.

1K -> Nothing

Only did 2 revenue domestic trips on UA last year [~$1,300 PQD]. What killed it for me were the cuts UA made at PIT and their constant close in schedule changes [less than 6 weeks out].

Moved all of my business to AA/US. Hard to not be with the airline that has 3x more flight options and considerably more seats to/from the hubs.

1K to 1K

Achieved the $10K PQD no problem. Passed 100K PQM in December, ended a little above 105K.

70% Business / 30% Personal travel

Looks like I'll hit 1K again this year at this point.

airchick Feb 2, 2015 5:40 pm

1K -> 1K

Not sure what this year will bring.

thepumpkin Feb 2, 2015 5:41 pm

IK ------> Gold as above 1MM

Still have a lot of miles to burn but ---
-No more 1K desk to hang up when asking to do same day change when agent disagreed that I would misconnect
-No more gate supervisor in Chicago who turned his back on me as he shut the gate after running from delayed regional and refused to help me...and pointed towards Untied Club and said" no one will help you here ....complain if you like,,I don't care"----he was right---Customer care did not care !
-No more unreliable regionals what may or not connect ---and again customer care did not care.....refused hotels when stuck overnight....and told it is my problem

So United ....I would have made the $12000 this year ....but not with you!!!!!

Me too, 1K to nothing. I'm in SFO but Alaska has sufficient coverage for me (and there's meal on SFO-SEA! ^)
