Are the PQP earned cumultative for the whole qualification year? Or do we have to earn additional PQP during the promo period?

Interesting how they did this. There is a gamesmanship opportunity here.

1. If your promotion is $2700 in spend, you can spend $2600
2. The rules say, if you fail to hit your promotion spend, they will still give you the 2250 in PQP, for taking three flights, as a bonus.

So you walk away with 4850 PQP! :)

They probably knew this, but there likely wasn't time to fine-tune some of these minor details.

Received the 3,000 PQP offer which is great but what is not mentioned is whether or not these must be earned on United metal or just PQPs regardless of the carrier?

not any help for me. I'm already set to requalify for silver via my first class trip to Hawaii in December (I have something like 2600 PQP so far). Looks like I just miss the bonus PQP as well since I fly there December 2

Or... do I fly somewhere in November as well and try and reach gold...

If you’re currently a 1K (as of July 27, 2021) and don’t have 1K status through 2022, you’ll be eligible for a requalification challenge wherein you’ll have the opportunity to keep 1K status until January 31, 2023 if you meet the challenge requirements. You can also check at www.united.com/flytothefinish

A member can’t be simultaneously eligible for both offers. If a Premier is eligible for the Fly to the Finish challenge but doesn’t meet the challenge requirements, they will receive trip-based PQP bonuses after the challenge closes – we wanted everyone to walk away with bonus PQP to help keep them on track for requalifying, even if they couldn’t hit the challenge goal by November 30th.

For Premiers who have not yet requalified, if the member has met minimum segments requirements and is only 1 trip-based Breakout Bonus away from requalifying, we placed them in the Breakout Bonus challenge. Because you are more than 1 Breakout Bonus from requalifying (>350 PQP), you’re enrolled in the Fly to the Finish challenge. Completely understand that you’re closer to the annual requirement, though, and there’s some good news for you there – per the terms of our Fly to the Finish offer, if you’re enrolled in the challenge and meet annual requirements for the status you had on July 27, 2021 before November 30th, you’ll also be eligible for trip-based PQP bonuses under our Breakout Bonus offer after the challenge closes! Since you’re closer to reaching Silver, those bonuses could help you reach Gold before the end of the year.

Understand that you require fewer PQP to requalify than the challenge requires, so we’ve written the terms of our offer to accommodate this scenario. If you meet annual requirements before November 30th, regardless of the challenge outcome, you will receive trip-based PQP bonuses under our Breakout Bonus offer after the challenge closes. Since you’re closer to 1K this could go towards earning extra PlusPoints after hitting the 1K PQP-only requirement of 15,000 PQP.

That's mine anyway. I'd requalified for Silver, but not Gold. 6 PQF + 1200 PQP is a lot of flying tho. 3x TCON before November, when I've flown a grand total of once this year?

One complicating factor is that they'll wait until Nov 30 to see if you met the promo spend to determine if you're eligible for the bonus PQP. They promise to give it to you by Dec 21, but I foresee problems with people not knowing how many PQP's they really have.

If you complete the challenge, you will have your status extended through January 31, 2023. If you complete the challenge AND complete the annual requirements for the status you held on July 27, 2021 before the challenge ends on November 30th, you will not only have your status extended but will also receive trip-based PQP bonuses under our Breakout Bonus offer to help you reach the next Premier level.

Hope we can help – we realize everyone can’t make the challenge and would hate to have a situation where you engaged with our promotion and walked away with nothing. For that reason, even if you don’t meet the Fly to the Finish requalification challenge, if you took an award trip or any PQP-eligible trips before November 30th, we’ll give you trip-based PQP bonuses after the challenge closes to help you stay on track towards requalifying before the end of the year.

Hi Stephen, both offers are for United and United Express flights.

It will help you! Let’s say you’re currently a Silver and close to requalifying and are thus in our Fly to the Finish challenge. Since you’re closer to already meeting the annual requirement, per the terms of our challenge, if you meet the annual requirement before November 30th you will receive trip-based bonus PQP under our Breakout Bonus offer after the challenge closes – regardless of the outcome of the challenge! You could have your sights set on Premier Gold for 2022.

Received the 3,000 PQP offer which is great but what is not mentioned is whether or not these must be earned on United metal or just PQPs regardless of the carrier?

yeah, I am massively confused by that part. How and when would these 2250 PQP apply?

Then foreign members are unable to take advantage of this offer?

This is a good reading of the rules. It may be advantageous not to meet the requirements.

Checked with MP. 3000PQP on United flights only.

Aww. Already hit platinum again, and a bit of a surprise, for the year. Kinda fun i basically jumped over gold completely. Hitting 1k still seems like it may happen, but i don't qualify for this promotion. The extra qualifying flights will be nice though.

They'll apply retroactively, but you'll get them late December once they know that you didn't meet the challenge.
