I would like to try to maintain my United Gold status for the coming year (before the new requirements make it pretty much impossible for me to ever get status again). Is there someone that would be willing to advise me on the best/least expensive way to get to that status level? I need 23,201 in PQM and 2,801 in PQD (yes I'm aware that these abbreviations mean nothing starting Jan 1). I am based in the NY area, and prefer EWR for departure and arrival, but obviously I can do any of the local airports. The cards I have are: Chase Sapphire Reserve (probably not relevant here), MileagePlus Club, MileagePlus Card (really old version), Business United Explorer MileagePlus, and AMEX Green. I'm pretty available to travel between now and the end of the year. Any helpers out there please, or pointers for guidance? If you are a travel agent I'd be willing to book through you as well. Thanks.
