Premier Status Tracker provided by United

From a United e-mail I received today

"What’s your 2017 traveler type?

Aussienarelle, you’re a globetrotter

You're used to life at 35,000 feet and are never in one place for long. When the world is your oyster, you have the status to show for it.

You've earned these bragging rights so far:

12 International flights + 18 Domestic flights

Your longest flight LAX LHR** 5,442 miles

** The three-letter codes above represent airport abbreviations."

Premier status tracker links to your annual stats for meeting the membership levels.

I actually track my status on a spreadsheet by PQM (and PQD).

Me too - wonder what other "types of traveler" they have.

Me, too. But, they got my longest flight wrong.
DEN - EWR**

Forget about SFO-ICN (or vv) or even BOS-SFO

Methinks we might all be Globetrotters.

I got an email too ... after a year and half of reduced travel, using miles for trips, and my employer pretty much forcing the use of other airlines I've lost most of my travel status.

The email called me a "discoverer". "Your wanderlust has been sparked and now the possibilities are endless. It's not too late to give your inner jet-setter some wings this year."

I track status on a spreadsheet like Aussienarelle does - but not much to track this year.

I'm presently 1K but in retirement "mileage earning" travel is want down. Actual travel is nearly 50% award. Only 2 transoceanic trips - one paid, one present an award.

Globetrotter but my longest flight was WAY off. It had IAD-LHR, despite the fact I do EWR-DEL almost every month.

I am just shy of Platinum for 2018 and am a "globetrotter" - and my longest flight was also incorrect (listed as EWR-LHR but have flown LHR-SFO).

Oh yeah, I didn't think to check but mine is wrong also. Lists SFO-SYD (not far off) but it's actually MEL-LAX.

Also Globetrotter for me, with 33 Domestic and 16 International flights. They got my longest flight (LAX-SYD) right.

My longest flight information was also incorrect. In fact I have a number of flights longer than the one shown in the email.

On the split between domestic and international flights, I have not had a chance to check my spreadsheet. However, I do wonder how UA account for all my Star Alliance flights not involving US as departure/arrival points. Some of the infra China, infra Germany and intra Japan flights should be domestic.

They consider me an adventurer.

This year I am adventuring with other airlines.

PQM: 0
PQD: 0

Did burn miles, mostly for award travel on LH and LX. I had two award segments on UA.

Hmmm, well they did not have my longest flight correct either for 2017 (to date). I flew LAX-MUC (5,982) in January but that was Lufthansa so if it is United the longest flight this year would be FRA-SFO (5,691) also in January.

I have not verified whether the number of flights are correct.
