Someone with 1K or GS gift cblaisd UA status! ^

Why? Because cblaisd does so much for FT!

THIS

Good luck , 17 year 1k mm and watching the value slip away year by year
homes in LA and Aspen and office in DC , Chicago and SFO so united still best choice , but if that were to change I could see going free agent route and just paying for FC

was thinking the exact same thing!!

SWA has no PQD requirement:D

I'm curious if OP will start getting TOD offers now.

After years of Plat (and one year of 1K) I'm now a Silver. I used to book UA exclusively, now it's just a matter of which carrier has the best flight times & price for my LAX-EWR/JFK non-stop needs. Status, along with the RPUs that never cleared and expired last night, are worthless to me.

And here I was trying to sort out the slyest approach to inserting a brad about my new pair of Tommy Bahama sunglasses :cool: - boy would've I been embarrassed if I'd posted first!

Who is going to get your paid flying, and why?

Same here --- Dropped down to lifetime Platinum from 1K today.
I'm at 2,827,951 BIS's and close to lifetime 1k, but being #17 on the upgrade list from IAH to BOS yesterday did the trick for me. BIG SHOT STATUS and 2 FREE RPU's, that are almost never available anymore, is compete and utter nonsense. I'm just a sloooooooooooooooooooow learner, I guess?

Anyone want a dozen snack boxes that even my kids won't eat? :rolleyes:

I am in a similar boat as cblaisd but I have had some kind of status for around 28 years and still only have about 800,000 miles. I used to do a lot of short haul when I was working. Now I am retired and it is EWR to LAS plus one overseas a year now...missed on the PDQ for 2016 because I chose to unlock the handcuffs and too AA for a TALT last Sept. Flights were so so in J so by the end of April I will be back to Silver after at TPAC in J and an LAS to EWR in a cheap F fare......I cannot see ever making the million miles so now I just choose the best times and deals and once I get this year in it will be time to start burning up the last of the miles. Tired to dealing with waitlisted upgrade requests.

Yeah, but they don't offer lie flat seats :D:D:D

i thought you had to have a status of Silver or higher for a chance to upgrade on award tickets?

Where's Premier Associate when ya need it?!

I just went from 1K to MEMBER! arg! Does anyone have suggestions about how to get a "challenge" or whatever they may do now? I am 42K miles from 1MM but have a fair bit of travel to do on UA this year...

I know someone who has continued to use his Premier Associate card from 2009 (?) to access the elite security lines at many airports. :)
