Hi UA Inside, RE: Fly to the Finish For 1K status : Option # 2 "Earn Total of 3000 PQP".
As other posters have pointed out the promotional terms and conditions and FAQ, does not state the Fly to the Finish promotion's Option # 2 3,000PQP option requires any United or United Express flights. With borders closed &other restrictions; International based UA MPs cannot fly United flights currently or most not likely by end of 2021.

We shouldn't be surprised, United doesn't care about non-US based travellers.
This is a convoluted garbage promo anyway.

From another thread and MatthewLAX- so there is still hope for (some) non-US members?

According to Live and let's Fly there might be another "promo" (extension?) for international customers:
https://liveandletsfly.com/united-ai...tus-promotion/ The promotion cements United’s decision not to award another year of status extension in the USA, though Vice President of Loyalty Luc Bondar told me that there may be promotions for non-US addresses, particularly in East Asia and Australia, depending upon how travel bans progress in the weeks ahead. |
So with all the promotions this year, what's the minimum someone would have had to fly and spend out of pocket to requalify for 1K?

Yes, in the fly to the finish T&C:
thanks! So 2600 it is for current 1k’s that have yet to requalify for 1k by 7/27 |
I find it ironic that United came up with such a crazy promotion with hard to interpret T&C, considering they justified the switch away from mileage based status achievement because it was too complicated. Remember this?
https://mileageplusupdates.com/[email protected] Sometimes simplicity is good, even if there are some unintended rewards. I get that they wanted to incentivize travel, but this is convoluted. I fear a massive flood of plus points floating around the network next year. I sure hope there isn't a devaluation of points plus next year by raising the number required to upgrade. |

I'm still confused, and getting a little frustrated by how much time it takes to try to parse the terms of this promo. I'd like to use the Breakout Bonus promo instead of the Fly to the Finish promo. I think I am entitled to the Breakout Bonus because as of July 27, 2021, I held silver status and needed fewer than 350 PQP to re-qualify for silver. This makes me eligible according to Paragraph 3(a) of the T and C of the Breakout Bonus promo. However, I have been assigned the Fly to the Finish promo according to an email I received. Is there anyone to contact for help with this?

If this is the only promotion for status for the rest of the year, we should see a lot of 1ks leaving the ranks which should be nice for upgrades hopefully.

If so, what is the benefit? To earn more PlusPoints? |
First thing I'd like to say is to UA Insider, thank you for staying so close to this thread.
I'd like to test a "base case." If you're a current 1K and haven't flown at all this year (or have flown only on mileage award tickets) and have no PQPs at all, and you have the 400 starter PQPs for your company's UA affiliation, then you can qualify with one trip on UA during the promotion period that earns 2600 PQPs? Put another way, you find one round-trip UA flight that earns 2600 or more PQPs - and you've requalified for 1K. Is that correct? |

Hi ORD Liza, if you’re a Silver and have not yet requalified for Silver status for 2022, have 4 minimum segments on United required for Premier status, and only lack fewer than 350 PQP (and not more than 1 PQF if you’re closer to our PQP+PQF requirement for Silver), then you would have been in Breakout Bonus. If you lacked the 4 minimum segments on United/United Express, or were more than 350 PQP away from our PQP-only goal for Silver (3500 PQP), or were more than 350 PQP and 1 PQF away from our PQP and PQF requirement for Silver (3000 PQP and 8 PQF), then you would be in the challenge. Check your minimum segments as of July 27, 2021 – that could be why you’re still in the challenge. If you think you should still be in the challenge, give us a call and we can verify. Even if you are in the challenge, so long as you meet the annual requirement for Silver status before November 30th, you’ll still receive trip-based PQP bonuses after the challenge closes as a part of our Breakout Bonus offer.
So, on July 27th I was one flight and about 250 PQP away from requalifying for silver. That puts me into the camp of those for whom it takes more to meet the requirements of Fly to the Finish (700 PQP or 4 flights and 600 PQP) than to re-qualify for current status without it. Oh well. |
