It doesn’t seem like it would be that hard. Would you even need mystatus - can’t you just look up previous activity in one’s MP profile - and if you’re on the website (vs. app), you can even filter for everything August 6 and after, then calculate the PQFs/PQP for UA/UAX-operated flights only. You can even download the data and cut out the unnecessary rows in excel, then do a quick sum. Maybe it’s not particularly ‘quick’, particularly if there’s a lot of Partner/card activity, but shouldn’t be that difficult to figure out.

It’s UA’s convoluted promotion. They should track it for us.

Look, no disagreement here on that....I said that upthread as well a couple of times (and they are most certainly tracking it....even if they aren't making that tracking available to us). I'm just saying it's not really that hard for us to do it, either.

Concur, though you'd think that UA would want folks to know how close they are to prod them. Wouldn't be surprised to see an email sometime soon with a message like "you're only xxxx PQP away from requalifying, how's about you take a trip?"

Has anyone gotten their status extended after successfully completing the Fly to Finish offer? My 1k offer was 2700PQP+10 segments or 3000 PQP. I have completed the 3000 PQP (3142 pqp), but my status still shows platinum qualified through 01/23. Should I be contacting CS? I have not received any new 1K plus points for reaching this status.

Has anyone gotten their status extended after successfully completing the Fly to Finish offer? My 1k offer was 2700PQP+10 segments or 3000 PQP. I have completed the 3000 PQP (3142 pqp), but my status still shows platinum qualified through 01/23. Should I be contacting CS? I have not received any new 1K plus points for reaching this status.
My requal "Fly to the Finish" flight was yesterday and my status expiration and mystatus.united.com was updated in 12 hours of landing (soonest I checked). No new PlusPoints yet but those have typically taken a couple days to a week to post.

I was wondering if someone could help me with my questions.

I currently just requalified for gold status via the Fly to Finish promotion and wanted to know if there was any benefit to trying to requalify for gold status the regular way by earning the reduced 7,000 PQP needed? I have a couple more UA flights within the next six weeks and will then still need 215 PQP to earn the 7000 PQP (and can book another UA flight if needed) BUT is there any advantage in doing this? Will premiere gold members who qualified organically (without the FTF promotion) have better advantages than another gold member who regained status via the promotion? I hope that question makes sense.

Also, if I decide that I want to try to requalify for gold status the organic way (with the reduced 2022 requirements), do I have until 12/31/20 or until 1/31/22 to earn this?

Thanks.



I should mention that I would NOT requalify organically for status before the FTF promotion ends (11/30- not sure if that makes a difference). Thanks.

Does the Club Card Earn count towards FttF Promo?

Apologize if this has been asked previously but just noticed under Activity details that 500 PQP Earn Club Card were added to my account on Sept 30th. Do those PQPs count towards the Fly to the Finish promo?

It is believed they do not, some feedback (to be taken with a grain of salt) from agents suggests no.
The Fly to the Finish refers to PQPs from UA/UX flights.

UA has said nothing about this, so any answer is pure speculation

I re-qualified on Sunday and received the PlusPoints on Tuesday.

And mine are there today -- 2 days seems to be the common sweet spot.
