Regarding the 500 PQP we earn for 12K spend- does that go by calendar year too or is that based on cardmember year?
I believe calendar year.

Can someone explain why the stopover is not showing up as free? The flights are ORD-TLV TLV-DXB DXB-ORD.

Can I cancel my award ticket for free up until the time of departure?

Is TLV-DXB connecting in Europe?

I do see the stop showing free, though the DXB-ORD options aren't that great.
PM me for a good deal on flights

Anyone have advice on the cheapest and most efficient way to requalify for Silver status for 2023 (see attached screenshot).

Is it best to book two cheap United flights? Do I need to actually fly on them or can I just book them and not show? Or is there a way to buy PQP without flying?

Any thoughts would be appreciated!

Is a award ticket refundable for a flight originating in europe? And do the taxes get refunded also?

Need to fly.
Or you can spend 12k on a UA CC to get 500 PQP

There are some ~$90 RT flights like EWR-SYR that will cost you 3-4 hours to make the PQF requirements.

I have the opposite problem. $65 short on PQP with 9 segments already flown.

Any advice? Those ~$90 flights are a few dollars short.

Pay a little extra for a higher fare class on those flights. I already did that on an earlier flight to avoid having to fly another flight. Now just waiting for the 500 PQP to post from the 12k spending on the UA Biz card

Is this accurate?  United has officially done away with award redeposit fees, period. So long as you cancel your award ticket before departure, you can get your MileagePlus miles back for free.

Usually when you check in for a flight online, there is an offer to buy some extra miles. It also has an option to buy PQP

Any risk in having someone book an award for them and 4 other people so that everyone can get Economy Plus seating and then having that person cancel their ticket as they will not be flying and leave the 4 other people to fly?
