For those that received, did you get same last year? I got last year by calling in January, wondering if you can get 2 years in a row.
Yes, I called last year and got it this year as well.

I'm confused, did you get it extended for a second year in a row or not?

So the answer is no. Last year had nothing to do with EY cancellations that you got extended.

You may have said that to them as the once in 5 year has to have some excuse/reason maybe but it’s nothing to do with this cancellation, it’s an from before the cancellations that they’ll give extensions. Does not mean everyone is eligible, I’ve had them say you need more than 2 years of status to get it.

I dont understand.
This year and last I got an email that my status is being extended.

 
Dear *******

We understand that the suspension of our Tel Aviv flights may have disrupted your travel plans and your path to requalify for MileagePlus® Premier® Platinum status for 2025. Because of this, your current Premier status will be extended through January 31, 2026.

Next year, as a MileagePlus® Premier® Platinum member you’ll also receive a deposit of 40 PlusPoints into your account.

Im saying that the extension given last year was due to this exception/extension they make upon request  o. Ore than once in 5 years, and not related to the cancellation of this route. That’s the type of extension which is upon request vs the EY route cancellation/extensions

This is the email I got on Dec. 8

Dear Mr. ******

Thanks for your reply.

We certainly appreciate your business this past year, and we understand that the situation in the Middle East has disrupted travel into and out of Tel Aviv, IL (TLV).   I have checked your account, and after taking another look it does not appear that your account is eligible for that specific status extension.

 

We did also check to see if you would be eligible for a general status extension based on your strong Premier history, but it was denied since general exceptions can only be applied to your account once every 5 years. Our records indicate that you last received this extension for 2024.

 

I understand your frustration and sincerely apologize that we are not able to grant your request.

 

Thank you for selecting MileagePlus as your frequent flyer program. We look forward to serving you again soon. 

 

 

Regards,

 

Erika Clark James

MileagePlus® Service Center

If I book an award ticket for someone and pay the taxes on their united card, will they get the free bag?

I know they won't on my card.

Re; PQP Caps going up.
United says on their official 2025 update page that United ClubSM Business Card cap increasing from 1,000 PQP to 15,000 PQP
https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/mileageplus/whats-new.html
DD Main site reported this as well.

But on that CC application page, https://www.theexplorercard.com/business-rewards-cards/club-card , it's still showing the 1,000 PQP cap.

Should I wait for them to update the page to apply or is it safe to do it now already?

They're running a 1k PQP intro offer that I don't want to miss out on.

Last year I got an extension on gold by calling about israel flights, but seems it was sort of standard complimentary extension, for once in 5 years.  This year I tried again (  almost made gold and maybe would have with israel flights i had booked, or very close) and they are denying, saying it's once in 5 years.

I don't mind huca-ing but where is the best place? MP service center gives me overseas reps i doubt they will do anything.

I’m seeing one MP account getting discounted saver (via premier silver) for 15k and another account (premier silver plus club card, previously platinum) has the same flights for 13k. Is this new? What is the dealbreaker here?
