question on e-upgrades
I made 2P status a little while ago this year (and should get to 1P by November), but what is this about getting 4x500 mile e-upgrades for every 10k miles flown? I'm now at 37k eqms for the year, so I've flown more than 10k as a premier, should I be expecting these e-upgrades to appear, or am I missing something?

As long as the 12k EQM's past 25k were on united you will get your e-500's after the next sweep.

E500s work off actual miles flown on united metal (BIS) -- so flights on *A or class of service bonus or credit miles or variety of other items that earn EQMs do not count.
So for each 10,000 BIS miles -- flown after achieving 2P or greater status -- in a calendar year will earn 4xe500. They post Saturday midnight (Chicago time) after achieving the milestone -- note the flights need to post first -- so Friday, Saturday flights can be iffy and the e500s may not show up until the next week.

I wouldn't pinpoint it at midnight. I've had them post anywhere from 4PM Central time to 10PM.
That's pretty standard for Thursday, Friday, or Saturday flights. They always take an extra week because they post too late for the snapshot.
