Has anyone seen if GS invites have gone out for newly qualifying members yet?

General consensus from historical data is Jan 11/12 when new invites go out...Good luck!

No change once the site came back up - sadly. SFO-based with 58k PQPs and 67 PQFs

I have been the MileagePlus member for almost 20 years but don't really use UA that often until last year (Yr22) when I relocated to US in Q4. So, I only barely got a gold from UA last year mainly due to the shorter time frame. However, this year (Yr23) I managed to clock 64K+ PQP via sub 50 PQF out from DFW. I am wondering if that is enough to make me a GS for 2024, if not, is there anything I can do before the mid of Jan when they announce the newly qualified GS? Tks.

I’d be surprised if you don’t requalify for GS. When you get the news, please let us know!

It would surprise me if you don’t receive an invitation. I’ve had colleagues who didn’t requalify, but were offered a challenge when they called in January and got it that wait. I’d wait and see what happens.

I'm 83.4K PQP, of which 73.6K are on UA metal (primarily Polaris between EWR <--> Europe). I estimate UA CPM to be ~71 (based on Flighty mileage; not sure if there is a more scientific way to get that figure?) I'm 1K and hope to see GS this year, but sounds like it will be a tough year overall for first-timers.

I think that with that spend you will get the invite.

Interesting, seems early and I thought they weren't starting new GS invites until next week. Maybe they have changed things up this year. Did you receive the welcome phone call too?

eightblack Jan 3, 2024 5:27 pm

Yep I was upgraded today as well. Approx 65K net of all bonuses. First Year as GS.

I will now walk around in my underwear every morning, yelling "Its Good To Be The King" just to annoy my kids :D

My wife was upgraded to GS today
 
67,244 total PQP - 59,272 on UA metal - $0.59 CPM

First time GS. SFO home airport

No call or email received as of 4:15pm PDT

Woohoo just checked as well and it shows GS. 1K 2 years in a row. Platinum for many before that. $42k spend last year but not all united metal. This year $49k spend all united metal, lots of segments but 75% of that came from just 3-4 international trips in J. Very excited!!!!!!!

Made GS today for the first time after 1k last year and bottom-ish tier status for a few years before that (moved from NY to NJ in 2022). 51k PQP / 29 PQF in 2023, with a lot of trans-con and trans-atlantic in business class. Based in EWR.
