Author Topic: United Elite Status with EQM's question (Read 4214 times)

springles · « **on:** June 12, 2012, 11:25:19 AM »

I have 30,000 elite qualifying miles. These miles can be used for status, up to platinum level

So if I have 70,000 miles for status already, I can only add 5,000 to get to platinum, not 30,000 to get to "1k" (the next level)

Question is, if I have 25k for status now, can I add my 30k miles to that, get to 55,000, which is below platinum. Then later, I get 50,000 more miles for status, and now I am at 105k. I don't use the elite qualifying miles to get me to 1k, but they are part of the 105. Does that work? Or do they disqualify the EQM's?

Officially you can only reach 1K with 100K BIS EQMs, YMMV if they actually can enforce that (doubtful!)

Thanks.
Does anyone have any experience with this?

I read on FT of someone doing your strategy for 1K.

Will look for it, I posted on FT too and first response was that it will not work.

That's because the official line is that it won't.

I have 308k EQM, I'm already at platinum status, any idea what to do with those miles? Can I try to get them to make my brother account platinum as well?

It's from a PP EQM card that goes up to Plat. And for you BP, you can't do anything for others. Just stop spending on the card after its not useful anymore.

I know, what a shame.

I thought someone would have an idea how to make them more useful, was even ready to offer for that person his own platinum account....

So I guess that card is not Benimtzeh anymore?

It was available before you joined DDF. It's called the UA presidential plus card (from the old CO days). The Club card is a son of that card.

Oy.... Did I miss something at the seminar.. Or for these stuff I have to get on your private whats app group?

What is the easiest way to move up in status if someone has UA Silver from RewardsPlus (Status-sharing program with Marriott)?

And if there's really a way to still get the Presidential Plus card, feel free to PM me.

The zombie link I had died this year.

You can try calling/SMing to convert other UA cards to it.
