PQP’s have updated already, just not the tracker.

I'd give it another night -- if they posted after the evening sweep it could take another day -- I'm sure it will update shortly.

look at your RASM. If it’s 15 cpm, you are just a bunch of Y customer value , which at 95% loads, United knows it can replace

if you are 35 cpm, United will pretend to value you more, an even better metric which isn’t public is operating revenue gain available seat mile, which has multiple facets and several complicated incoming factors

I just went to look at my GS 18k challenge progress and the tracker is no longer there...I've been very close for several weeks, between $1500-$800 away from meeting the challenge....I emailed GS last week and asked for an exemption to be granted GS based on my 27k PQP thus far and how close I have been for weeks to the 18K challenge requal. Anyone else no longer see their challenge tracker?

what cpm are most GS at? I’m at like 85 cpm.

Roughly 65-70 cpm for my last paid qualifying year (2019) - and requalified for 2023+2024 via the challenge.

Just curious if CPM is an established matrix used by United in determining GS invite?

If it is used, it has be certain associated benchmarks being established, for example:

• Minimum number of BIS flown

For example, if someone pays last min fare of $18K to fly Polaris from IAD to LHR roundtrip, this one trip will give you roughly $2.45 CPM. However this one trip won't earn GS. Would two trips do the trick?

• Minimum $ spent on United Metals

Spending $50K on cheap Y fares probably won't earn GS, but would $36K (using example above) on two Polaris last minute fares work? Would 3 trips at $54K enough? or would 3 trips on United earn one GS status?

This is the Airlines that cannot even provide us with actual BIS per flight, so how likely it has a formula tracking thousand (if not millions) of flyers' CPM?

I am just curious and raising the question on the validity of CPM as a measurement for GS qualification. If it is indeed used, then what are the associated benchmarks?

It's be raised before, and nobody knows. FT has a good deal of data to support the (previous) 50k minimum UA metal, but I've never seen back up the CPM assertion with any data. There are, however, plenty of people here who are convinced of it. You have to give UA credit - it's rather remarkable they've been able to keep the true requirements off the internet...

Given this year's attempted cull / inconsistent challenge offering / occasional silent reinstatement, I'm not sure UA themselves know what the true requirements are. 😵🤪

Nope. "CPM" is nothing more than Flyertalk myth and lore. Over the years, there have been many examples of people achieving GS status with very low CPMs. I qualified for many years with CPM of 0.20 or below.

That has been my view but I am happy to be corrected if CPM is proven to be a matrix used.

Total speculation on my part

There is probably a hard cap on number of GS invites per year. This can change due to things like corporate invites. We have no knowledge of this

each year, there are obvious drop outs and new players , huge spend AND RASM

remaining seats are then filled by renewals based on same, with caps on hub stations to prevent overloads.

this a total theory on my part but it does speak the Covid disruption when the number of GS fluxed

Is any consideration given for age when it comes to GS qualification? I am 24 and looking at 40-50k in spend out of a small airport this year.

I’d wager to bet absolutely not. Age discrimination is illegal in the US.

If that’s 50k on UA metal you might still stand a chance, but if it’s total PQP I’d say it’s highly unlikely.

Age is irrelevant...UAs revenue management system is completely agnostic. The only thing they care about is cash :)
