I am at 103,770 miles but PQD is $6235. I purposely booked two BR itineraries this year so I will drop to Platinum (with Chase waiver) in 2018. Decided going fro $12K is not worth it for me. I will have more freedom to fly on *A next year.

laxmillenial - at this point, anything that gets me to 100,000 is fair game. I will often buy up to a higher fare if that is more cost-effective. If I see P or higher at less than 2X S or lower, I will usually take it. That said, I fly to the west coast often and don't mind that at all.

I just bought my last flight of the year (no more work travel, so this is a pure dollars run). I'll be at 111,000 PQM, but my PQD will finish right on the nose at $12,000 :-)

I thought I was close at $12,004 -- you win!

Ms. Stumblebum sits on 99,939 - fortunately we have a short trip planned - her first legit 1K year.
I should finish 120,000+ United miles - my highest total ever.

I am going to get it by 700 miles, but only by up faring on my return home this week. If not for Z and P fare double PQMs, I wouldn't have made it. Least travel for me in 5 years and my boss is encouraging it so I don't get burned out.

This might be my last year as 1K, how sad!
Yep. I hit the mileage mark exactly last year.
noah, UA_Flyer and nnn like this.

I'm currently sitting at 119 segments and with PQD over 13k (PQM is only 76k). I have one more flight for the year so i'll just make it over the line.

105,012 PQM. $12,009 PQD

Interesting side note: I was scheduled to take "the last" 747 flight ICN-SFO, which would have been my 2 million mile flight. I bought a 6K ticket, which was refunded when they pulled the rug out with the HNL run. UA would have had an extra 5K in PQM.

I'm 800 miles short of 1K, with a non-refundable FC ticket coming up for travel this weekend that would put me over the top. Called and requested pre-emptive bump to 1K for next year so I could push 2 unused GPU into February and redeem for two trips just purchased today. Denied - was told no until the flight next Sunday posts....but was thanked for being a loyal 1K and Million Miler

Update: saw the R space on my flights starting to go, so called back and got a new supervisor who was super nice, super helpful and willing to bump the two GPUs into 2018 after verifying my flight next weekend, so I could redeem them, and a happy result in the end. He seemed shocked I didn't use any of the GPUs this year at all, but truth be told, I've cut my flying by 50% and just buy P/Z fares domestic and international and end up with the same PQM at the end of the year with 99% fewer hassles and problems and no more upgrade worries.

77K PQM and I'm Canadian so the spend doesn't matter. I've flown over 100K this year, just not all of it on UAL.

Not going to bother going for 1K though.
