CC spend will count towards status
Plus head start for current status members.

Curious to see if companion/contract members will get the same

I think American did a nice job in threading the needle here to encourage more credit card spending, while still rewarding flyers with perks like Systemwide Upgrades. Plus it’s a whole lot simpler than United’s elite program. If Delta follows American’s lead here, United will likely be forced to match as well.

Others have reported that the app has an error, and that people's status is not changing based on this. Someone reported that they contacted United, and they denied any changes. I guess we'll have to wait and see.
