I'm not in a good position to search, so can someone please tell me when UA announced their PQP "head start" (25% deposit based on status level) and Q1 promotion for first 3 flights of the year for 2021? TYIA

I haven't seen anything around that on the official page. It appears the base requirements are exactly the same as last year as other's said. The same PQP for credit card spend is disappointing - wish they had improved that in some manner.

Hopefully, they will give us another PQP head start and doing some bonus PQP promos since it looks like international travel opportunity will highly variable this year again.

The Pick Your Path/Welcome Back was actually a Q2 promotion. There was a Q1 promotion where UA doubled PQP earnings on first three flights, up to 1,500 PQP each - if I am not mistaken, this was the only promotion where your status level didn't matter.

Thanks for the quick replies. It's much appreciated. Since the head start and Q1 travel bonus were announced November 12, I'm not optimistic we'll see anything like that for 2022. UA was probably feeling pretty good about 2022 until just a few weeks ago before Omicron hit. Best case they might have a Q2 promo if Q1 tanks due to COVID.

In the same thread from Nov 2020 with the goodwill/starter PQP: MileagePlus Status Easier to Earn for 2022: ↓ PQP Levels, PQP Grant, Q1-21 PQP Bonus

I think this one got overlooked, because not a lot of people were flying at the time, partly due to low season, partly due to Covid.

Here are some of the key changes we’re making for 2021:
  • We are offering our most rewarding Premier qualification bonus offer, allowing members to earn even more PQP for each of the first three trips they take with United® between January 1 and March 31, 2021.

You did get new PlusPoints
Your unexpired PlusPoints got extended to Jan 2023 (versus July 2022 for that did not fly / re-earn status in 2021)

May not be enough for some but not zlich

We will see if anything more gets added, 2022 is just getting started
