Status matched Alaska Airlines in Feb 2018, got MVP 75K. I'm at 62K miles now. Won't be able to catch 75K by the end of this year. The status resets on Jan 1, or have 12 months after the status match?

If I booked a flight to depart on 12/30/18 and return 1/2/19 how do the PQMs etc get split up on United?

Booked reward travel to Seoul for April 2019. Recommendations for best hotels to consider? I'm diamond with Hilton currently and might have enough time to status match with Marriott/SPG by then.

UA global services qual question - Is it possible to have $40k in spend and only 150k eqm CBS make it (95% high value domestic and intl first) or do I really need to push to break $45k?

I’m 125 PQM away from United Gold. Anyone have any experience with calling and having them give the status? Would be great to have free same day flight changes to leave early on Thursday.

Doing a status match with Hilton Honors from Marriott - how are the benefits considering all the recent status changes over the last few months? Is it worth leaving Marriott or should I stay?

How much money do you need to spend on United to get to Global Services status? I have never gotten a clear answer. I had GS on and off - looks like I am somewhere on that range/zone of spending

Can you do a status match and also get on a challenge with that new airline?

Recently switched from AA to United bc of a hub change. I got a status match through United and now am getting upgraded much more frequently than I was on AA. Does United just upgrade more often?

Has anyone booked Air India flight to India with United gold status? Does AI honor UA gold for upgrades? Or atleast extra legroom seats?

On a local project through the end of the year and will be 10k MQM short of renewing Delta gold. Delta Platinum Amex no longer gives you a 10k sign up MQM bonus. What to do? Settle for Silver 😱?

I am new to United Silver and I purchase economy tickets. Is the best strategy to check in exactly 24 hours ahead and switch my seat to an open economy plus seat?

Anyone selling 1 United RPU?

I want to take my SO on a surprise trip. If I purchase the ticket on Delta without putting her skymiles number in, will it still show up in her app?

16k EQD in AA. Am I even close to being selected for Concierge Key? Mostly fly out of Chicago.

That moment when you make it to Platinum spend before you get to Silver MQS/MQM...

Is there an app that lets you plug in dates and needed PQMs, and it spits out the cheapest destinations / trips that would work? This has to exist.

If I end the year with 95k EQM on American Airlines, will American allow me to purchase up to Executive platinum? Do they have anything like that

Just hit Gold on Delta but tired of the worthless Sky Pesos and the terrible redemption value. I hear United has a much better program. Worth it to status match or is the United experience that bad?

How much do you have to spend to be considered for Global Services?

American gold. Spg/Marriott platinum. Taking a united flight to Spain at the end of October. Anything I can to make trip more comfortable?

Can Global Services upgrade united flights at more fare classes than is typically available for 1K with GPUs? Does it matter who the traveler is, or who owns the GPU?

Does Emirates accept status match requests with any US Airline?

Marriott PP and just got my United Silver match. Does anyone know if this now makes it easier/lowers requirements for me to qualify for United Gold or 1K etc as I have passed the silver level?

Had global services, didn’t even qualify for gold the next year, united gave me premier 1K. Anyone been able to status match to delta platinum in this situation without an activity statement showing..

Just projected my mileage out through the end of the year, I’ll be 2564 miles shy of Delta Diamond 🤦🏽‍♀️, and have United Silver...

Apparently starting today United 1K members will get to pre-board ahead of group 1. Thoughts?

United Gold status now in boarding group 1 🙌🙌🙌

What is a mileage run? Seen a lot of talk but unclear what it is or how to do it

Question, I’m AA, out of dallas. Are there any good resources for mileage runs? I want to get ~10k miles by year end. I have enough EQD’s but need more EQM’s. Thoughts,

Need miles for MileagePlus account. Anyone has extra ones to spare?

Deadline for united miles about to expire. Anyway I can keep my miles without booking a flight?

The gate agent at O'Hare called Global Services and 1Ks together. Don't know what that means. 1K requirements getting bumped up?

delta mqms : if I want platinum next year easily and I have 37k points now and over 6000 mqd, is it better to stop flying delta once I hit 49k miles so I get 24k rollover miles; platinum or bust here

Is Hyatt doing a status match with the recent merger?

Have an opportunity to do a mileage run from Work location. Will get me 9k miles, and I’ll have to take a few days of work flying. $200 cheaper than my normal flights, any reason not to?

Flying tomorrow on a holiday and still can’t get an upgrade with United 1K status. Sitting at 10th on the upgrade list... so ridiculous

Anyone with AA Executive platinum completed a mileage run to get them to the 100k EQM... Was it worth it? Are the system wide upgrades flexible or bogus low priority? Thoughts and advice welcome 🙂

Is it possible to status match the delta promo status to United? I got a response stating they can’t match status if it is not “earned”. Any way to go around this? Thanks!

Does AA mileage multiplier get added to EQM and EQDs (the cost to buy multiplier) during the status challenge?
