I made it back after a few years away (new job, covid, etc). EWR based, 50.3k PQP and 28 PQF. Mostly business class to Europe, often short notice.
|
Checked my app after a surprising upgrade for my Friday flight (this AM I was #5 on the list). Updated to GS.
>60k UA metal PQP .52 CPM 1st time GS |

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 |
Hopefully more notifications to come, at around 64k net this year, still 1K
|
Mine just updated. Check again!
|
Mine updated also. 52K net with 54PQP.
Looks like a lot more invites have been sent out this year, than last. |

This year one early in year business flight to London and now 3 business flights to EU/UK and 2 business flights to Asia in last 4 months. Will likely have an additional flight to EU in early January. All flights from SFO. 46K PQP but that will go up to about 49k once I fly home from EU tomorrow. Looks like I won’t hear until January as I am not GS this year. Do you think I will qualify in January with evidence of bounce back at end of year (5 international business class trips)? I don’t know how to calculate CPM.
Just checked my account and am GS again! Companion too as I got million miler status last month. |
Just checked and no change so far. 1K since 2018. over $60k net UA spend ($68k total), but ~ $0.32 CPM. Going to be disappointed if I don't make the cut.
|
Checked the app today and I am back to GS for 2024
130 PQF / 79,598 PQP Was GS in 2022, 1K in 2023 |
Just checked the UA app. Updated to GS.
76k total PQPs (68k on UA metal) = $0.83 CPM 38 PQFs 1st time GS (long time 1K). IAD home airport No call or email received. |

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.

Just logged in and I am GS. 1st timer. Fun!
$63.5K PQP, 53 PQF. This includes the 2.5K bonus and some rewards flights and three non-UA metal. Only one economy the rest all Polaris and First mostly one-ways. Very few flights started at a hub. Main start points: Seattle, London, Brisbane, Cancun, Vegas. So probably $55K from 40ish flights I would guess as the qualification. Also I spent $17K in the last two months of 2022 (and hit 1K) after switching back to UA. So if they look at the last 12-14 months of activity which I have read somewhere then that may also have helped. I also spent $10K+ on my partner's flights through my account which can't have hurt. All up around 75k-80K spend in the last 14 months. I received a written note of thanks on a flight from MNL-SFO-LHR in mid Dec, thanking me for my loyalty. I broke through 50K PQP on that flight hitting around 57K at that point so it was either for that 50K milestone, or I had made the GS qualification then. Did others get a written note when they went through 50K? Or is it a December thing? |

I doubt the flight note was due to any particular threshold. The passenger manifests (and now apps) show who is GS on the flight and depending on various factors the pilot or crew might acknowledge it in various ways. I’ve received notes as well but no rhyme or reason

Interesting that new invitations are being done about a week earlier in the month of January than previous years. As we know, late January is a "GS heavy" period as there are both the new GS invitees as well as those whose terms are coming to an end. So this "GS heavy" period is now closer to four weeks than just over two weeks.
