Pretty sure they meant 7/22, not 7/23.

Surprised it took so long for them to post. Was waiting for something out from them yesterday.

Status is irrelevant for you, as you'll always carry the status of your sponsor.

Your PPs were not extended to 2023 because UA made a mistake.

They treated Companions & LT MMs as already qualified when launching the FttF/BoB promos, however, treated them as non-qualified when extending PPs -- resulting in a 6-month extension vs a 12-month extension.

Hopefully, they'll correct the mistake.

I’m going to venture and guess those whose employers have relationships with United got extended. (As well as international MP members.)

There was a strange corporate PQP stater deposit this year for certain MP members that I think is somewhat related.

I got extended. Zero UA flights this year, other than an AC flight booked through United.

They also denied Companions for FttF promotion.

I spent $4,000 for a single ticket in late August and should make 1K on my own.

But UA won't recognize it despite of repeated emails to MP.

As the result, I didn't get 280 PP.

Fixed. It's 7/2022.

I was drunk :-)

I decided not to pursuit FttF and have 7500 PQP YTD, including the 3800 PQP gift and 400 PQP from Corporate member bonus. I am glad that I did not spend the extra money, especially since I had to cancel a trip to Portugal when new restrictions were implemented Dec. 1.

I appreciate the status extension, although LT Gold is sufficient for my planned international travels in 2022. The PP extension to 7/2022 means I am now planning an extra trip to Europe (I don't expect Asia to be really open) before July, so UA is getting extra spend from me.

Its ok - UA's nuts.

I highly expect you will be wrong. I am annoyed with this non-announcement for a number of reasons: aside from the fact that I went out of my way to spend extra money that I did not need to, United waited until literally 3 weeks before the end of the year and after the promotions expired, there is still no clear public announcement, and it seems on top of this, the extensions are selective based on some random, unknown criteria.

All in all, the whole thing is just shady.

In the exact same boat as you. Did meet the 1K requirements via FTTF, no extra PP deposited, all PP (except the ones I earned to reach Plat) expire in July of 2022.

I reported earlier that I re-qualfied as 1K via FttF on Nov 21. A day later, my PQPs were posted with 200 old ones expiring on 1/31/2022 and the new 320 PQPs good through 1/31/2023. And my digital card says 1K through 1/31/2023. No e-mail received and the status tracker not updated as UA is waiting until 12/21 or something like that.
The odd thing is that upon checking my PQPs today on the website (same on the app), now all my PQPs show good through 1/31/2023.
Anyone else see a change in the expiry date of your old PQPs?

Surveyed some friends, and here are the results. Pretty interesting.

GS, zero flights for 2020 and 2021. Status extended to 1/23. Got 320 PP freshly deposited in July. 300 leftovers PP earned in 2019 are showing 1/23 expiration.

GS companion and 1K for many years, hit FttF promotion spend but was denied promotion. Made Platinum with 10800 PQP. All PP earned in 2019 are showing 7/22 expiration. 40 PP earned in 2021 for making Platinum shows 1/23 expiration.

1K for many years, 10000 PQP this year and didn't do FttF promotion. Got 320 PP deposited in July for no reason. These PP show 7/22 expiration, along with 280 leftovers PP earned in 2019. 1K status extended to 1/23.

Few other 1Ks qualified again under FttF promotion. Their PP are extended to 1/23 including earned in 2019.

Several Gold and Silver members both in the US and abroad reported that most of them got status extended. A few did not. I can't see any clear pattern.

Based in Asia and got the status and PP extension. The outcome for UA is that I will still try to fly their limited schedule vs flipping to SQ only. Tbh I really only fly 8 or so segments in the US a year, and on those I look forward to an E+ seat and a snack box (plus proactive IRROPS service) - upgrade is never expected.

I of course am biased toward myself, but with border shutdowns for most of the year plus United not even flying here until Jan 2022, I think it’s the right thing to do.

the ease of requalifying doesn’t increase 1Ks at all. By definition the number can’t increase. The only increase comes from those with lower status who met reduced thresholds. And, as I said, sure there are some/a lot, but we don’t know.

load factor isn’t really a useful comparator. Airlines have reduced capacity and not fully brought it back. And that’s before the huge drop in international flights, with a lot of people surely substituting leisure international for leisure domestic. That’s going to change as people live more with COVID.

How very annoying. I spent $3k of my own money to make FTTF and here it is I could have stayed home with my feet up. I should have known better.
