That is what I thought at first, but also figured it might be Upgrade currency as it was most likely plural.
It just seemed weird the way the email was written, but it may have been an initial thing and get cleaned up later.
All traces of it have been removed from my account on the website, so maybe it was just a placeholder for the initial rollout

'PissPoor' based on fact that we are going to lose a number of points due to expiration with how they are handling the STW thing

I like +P but they're really upgrade points, so UP or +UP would make some sense to me too.
OTOH, if MileagePlus is abbreviated MP rather than M+, then logic would suggest PP, but that already means PriorityPass.

The worst is on the Chase threads where CSR = Customer Service Representative and also Chase Sapphire Reserve. Throws me off every time.

So far for the poll options
+P
P+
PP+
+UP
PPU
PLP

Any other?
(While options can be added to polls, once you vote that can not be changed, so would like the options list to be pretty solid before starting the poll)

I wasn't actually joking with my suggestion of PLP (PLusPoints).
Including the "L" makes it much clearer that it refers to "PLus", and would differentiate it enough from all the other PPs out there....although I realize this won't be very popular.
I might go for PPU; anything with a + sign in it is just so wrong, IMO.

Isn't P+ already PremiumPlus? Don't see why PlusPoints would be P+.
