I'd love to take part in the challenge! But how if the US is not open for people from Schengen and no projection on when it will be possible again...?!

Sorry about the confusing - it would be very hard, if not impossible, for many foreign members to take advantage of this offer since many borders are still closed (e.g. NZ, AUS, CHN, even Schengen area right now etc.)

Impressive. With the 400 PQP corporate head start, easier for me to make 2600, rather than 10 flights + 2300.

Alternatively, make slightly less than qualifying (say 2500) and get the consolation (2250) for a total of 4750. Will this total then count towards the qualifying goal (2600 PQP)?

Can UA Insider confirm?

Thank you. Missed the promotion period in T&C

Exactly. And the terms and conditions didn't even mention this requirement.

Also no ideas if PQP from partner flights on UA stock would count or not. If they stick with their current wording (XXX Premier qualifying points (PQP) on United or United Express flights), I would say no.

Sorry I'm slow, and this may have been spoken about earlier, but just wanted to verify.
I requalified for Silver before July 27th (Break out bonus), after my trip next month with the bonus 350 PQPs I will be about 1900 PQPs short of Gold (without the PQFs). If I only do that one trip between now and November will I only get the 350 bonus PQPs or will there be an additional bonus similar to the fly to finish?

Not relevant for me, but this promo is more generous than AA's latest, since it grants PlusPoints if you meet it. With AA's, you don't get SWU, just status maintenance.

But what I would like to see is UA restore value to the MileagePlus program and to 1K status in particular.
Awesome. So I can have even more PlusPoints expire unused next year!

So I had a look at everything. I'm a shade over 1,500 PQP away from qualifying anyway. I have that much booked, so I'm going to qualify on my own for 1K.

My offer is to earn 2700 PQP to retain 1K, which is clearly silly under the circumstances.

It seems to me that if I earn 2700 PQP the hard way, I will get 1K and be at 16,200 PQP total.

If I earn less than 2700 PQP, I will get 1K, and get a bonus 3,000 PQP. Which will get me to about 18,500 PQP.

(all this assuming no further bookings for the year which I currently have no line of sight into).

Interestingly, this leaves me clearly incentivized to NOT book on United, because I will *lose* PQP by booking flights.

UPDATED: Sorry - I had written this before reading all the posts. My bad. Looks like I will actually qualify and get the 3,000 PQP as I qualify on my own. All makes sense now!

If flyertalkers have trouble understanding the promo than for 90% of premiers it will be impossible. I don’t understand why they don’t just make it simple. Something like fly 5 flights to keep your status or spend 3k to keep your status.

The way I'm reading it, if you do the fly to the finish promo using PQF + PQP, then it has to be on UA / UAX metal only.
If you do the promo using PQP only (i.e. 3,000 for 1k), then partner metal counts too?

That's exactly what this promotion is for 1K requal. It's actually quite simple.

99.9%.

This one takes the cake on confusing T&C. Some of the answers given here are not even stated in the T&C (such as qualifying for Breakout if you requalify and meet FtF).

If I am reading this, I understand 3000 PQP total - not 3000 PQP on United flights..... It would be nice if they honoured the offer they sent out instead of having to find out via unofficial channels that the T&Cs are wrong.

However, the Corporate Starter posted August 5. Unless Insider confirmed this is okay?
