This is very weird - as posted, I first saw 01/2022, then saw 01/2023, and now my card in the app shows 01/2022!

Note that I only flew 2 united metal segments for the year to date, but fulfilled the FttF requirement for PQM. (Have additional flights scheduled, but upgrades not clearing...)

The 280 PlusPoints are still in place - I'm not sure I should call in, or those may go as well... :p

Hi WineCountryUA... do I get bonus PQF for trying to calculate my status on FTTF? 😀 Don't think I will requalify Platinum yet going for the gold!

Still can’t figure out if I qualified or not. I believe I have met the requirements a month ago but no mails or status changes. I do have 280 more plus points added. Does this mean I successfully qualified with the FTF promo. Would hate to rush myself with 2k points to go in December.

I would definitely call in if you requalified based on the promo terms. We all need to find out what’s going on here.

Okay, I'll be the sacrificial lamb... :cool:

Same here; went from 2022 to 2023, now back to 2022.

Your 280 PlusPoints; when do they expire?
I received an additional 280 PlusPoints (on top of 200 I still had) on November 5 after qualifying in the FttF promotion; now it states that all 480 are expiring on 01/30/2022!

EDIT: correction: the expiration of the PlusPoints is as it should be. The UA website has really NOT improved in clarity over the last few years....

120 earned in 2020 expiring on 1/31
40 earned in 2020 (reached Plat) expiring on 7/31
40 earned in 2021 for reaching Platinum before the promo (I guess?) + 280 earned for reaching 1K with the promo all show 2023

As long as you completed FTTF based on the publicly posted terms and conditions, you are owed both your 2022-2023 status and your PPs. Nov 27 will conclude my FTTF flying, and I expect to see my status update and points applied, and if I don't, I will be calling in for sure. If they start denying FTTF status awards based on some unpublished "oops we forgot to include that in the T+Cs" excuse, there will be a big fight. We already pushed them to make multiple updates to the T+Cs by finding the initial drafts confusing and full of swiss cheese, but that was months ago. What has been published since then should be deemed as complete. Sure, UA reserves the right to make changes to a promotion or program, but those changes must be published and communicated.

So I am in the position of not meeting the FTTF but will benefit for the Breakout Bonus. I would have made 1K on my own by December 31 as I have a number of flights after November 30.

So the Breakout Bonus will put me 462 points short on meeting the 17,000 PQP for another 20 PlusPoints.

Can I use the accelerator to acquire the 462 points? The PlusPoints are worth it to me for the international travel I do each year. I cannot really fit in another trip this year but would do so of that if the only way to get the PQP.

Edit: I have United to thank for this realization as I put together my own tracking spreadsheet after the removal of the Future Flight tracking status on the website else I may not have realized this shortfall until December 30! I do not plan on doing anything about the shortfall until after November 30.

That should work. You said you have other travel planned, can you upgrade a flight? That seems like a better way to give United money.

This morning, while reviewing both my MileagePlus profile and my trusty Google sheet tracking my PQF and PQP, I realized that I will not get to the $2,700 (or $3,000) PQP spend for the FTTF promotion. This is also after a few back and forth email exchanges with [email protected] ([email protected]) this week as well.
I just called the United 1K line and spoke with MileagePlus account servicing. The representative said if I did not take another flight the rest of the year I would still retain 1K status through January 2023. She confirmed that with my current 14,324 PQP, on top of the Breakout Bonus 2,250 PQP’s earned once my promotion defaults to that with flights already taken during the promo period, I would cross the PQP only threshold of 15,000 PQP to retain 1K status for another year.

What a relief…

:confused:
Interesting that for me, United thinks January and July only have 30 days??
(unless it's some odd timezone thing...)

I earned the threshold PQP amount for FttF on Monday’s flight - Wed. My MP card still showed the Jan. 2022 expiry, and Friday when I checked, showed Jan. 2023. So changed either sometime Thursday or Friday.

what day did the 280 PP hit?

Short about 600 PQP, and thanks to an equipment swap that killed Premium Plus from the route on my only remaining trip this month (SFO-LHR, and I had already upgraded R to PZ), I can't upfare without thousands of dollars of overkill. Looks like I'll be making a PQP run this week. CRJ here I come. :sigh:
