I am very grateful that UA offered us this FTTF promotion but PQPs (unlike miles) are a bit more complicated. I've had to change my flights a few times (add a leg here, subtract a leg there) and the effects on the PQPs are unpredictable.

Yes, when mixing partner flights and wanted to know UA only PQPs (as required by Fly to the Finish). It is that latter requirement the complicates the promo if also using partner flights. Otherwise PQPs on UA tickets are very straightforward .

VERY HARD, when you work for companies that do not, or only recently allowed flying again, actually. Which is VERY common.

UA made it extremely easy this year by having all these promotions. I do not travel for work and easily made 1k this year. Most other years I would top out at Plat.

I wonder how many posts there will be here after Nov 30 from people who thought they had made the Fly-To-The-Finish requirements only to find that they had included non-UA and UA Express PQPs.
Even the agents doing the bookings on the 1K line often forget that extra condition.

If I understand correctly, if you make the required number of PQPs for the promotion you are notified soon afterwards? I'll be finding out on November 16th.

EDIT: should be: "only to find that they had included non-UA and non-UA Express PQPs"

No sympathy here from someone who actually pays for their own travel.

I was not, had to go to https://mystatus.united.com to see the success message
If you achieve a higher than prior status, you may get a message but not for requal.

I'm confused by this comment. It sounds like you're saying UA Express PQPs don't count for FttF?

This. For me, it was a positive change. I had to change a flight because my DEN-YYZ connection got canceled (UA delayed starting the route again). This was a trip from the weekend. Ended up changing to a flight from SFO (vs. SJC) in order to avoid having to fly an AC segment or move to a double connection. So was booked into the lowest available on my new itinerary, W vs. K originally, Shocked to see after I landed that I was credited with several more PQP than I thought I would get. This made it a lot easier of a decision not to try and change a future flight into a higher fare class from being in the single digits short of making FttF and without booking another trip prior to end Nov.

I agree, its confusing. I had called mileageplus and they said that upgrades would count and am now reading on this thread that it won't. Hopefully someone in United follows this thread and can clarify. It would be good to get some FAQs out. The Mileageplus rep had told me that its just PQPs on United metal

If you achieve a higher than prior status, you may get a message but not for requal.
And how long did it take to post? I just crossed 3K PQPs in the FTTF period (including the 400 granted on Aug. 6th for "business" customers) yesterday. So far, no message, no PPs. mystatus.united.com shows nothing on FTTF progress other than the banner atop stating the 400 bonus miles.

I pay my own way and made it to Gold last weekend (BoB). Yes, I had to fly a couple of unplanned flights to make it there, PQF+PQP, but I made use of the 550 BoB points (3 flights). The bonuses obviously helped as well as the lower threshold, and flying more than we normally do.
Just as a stat: 58% self paid, 42% bonuses. I figured this was the year to do it due to the bonuses and lower thresholds. I doubt the stars will be aligned like they were this year, next year.
