Coming back to UA
 
After a several year absence, I am coming back to UA. Called ICC to verify that MP # still exists, which it does. Was asked if my travel needs were met. (Sure, but not going anywhere just yet) Channel 9 here I come!

It is really not a good time right now, maybe check back in a few years. ;)

Welcome to Flyertalk, cleareddirectfluky!

Would you mind providing some more details? Did you leave UA due to lack of travel, or did you switch carriers?

As long as we're not competing for the same upgrades, it's a fine time...

Leaving from AA. Will do 2-3 transcons and 2 trans atl/year (brother in London). Aiming for 2P (Premier exec?) Maybe 1K in a couple years as I will be at top pay with my company. I don't travel for work. All travel is on own time and will do MR's on my days off. I had good experiences on AA, but I need my channel 9 and Starbucks coffee and I'm happy.

Just FYI, lowly 2P = Premier; humble 1P = Premier Executive. (As lucky just said.)

Yeah, welcome to FT, cleareddirectfluky!

Now here's a question that maybe you as a newbie can answer for me: what happens to one's lifetime miles when you let your account lie fallow for a while? UA doesn't reset the counter to zero, do they? (The question happened to occur to me when I saw this thread is why I ask.)

UA's back to Coke now. :p

Welcome back! Many of us are trying very hard to make your experience pleasant. So don't believe all the doom and gloom. :D
