Anybody here reach Global Services (or the AA/Delta equivalent)? What were your frequent flier stats leading up to being invited (e.g. 5 years in a row of 1K status, 500k miles flown, etc)

Yes, I have it (GS). Stats leading up to it don't matter, it's all about that one year. You want ~$50-60k spend on united metal (as in on united planes, partner airlines don't count), and that's pre-tax. Also sprinkle some business class in there. That's about the only requirement.

like

GS is on revenue not miles - I've had it at 129k miles and $65k, and at 200k miles and $110k... but the threshold changes every year

like

129k miles in the air.... mixture of medium haul and short hoppers....

like

@McK the 129 would be flown, would have earned a lot more award miles. Myself this year have over 300k "qualifying miles", but earned over 1 million "redeemable miles". Does that help?

like

This year - 270k flown, 151.5 segments.... so I'm kind of expecting GS again...... but stranger things have happened!

like

Have Delta 360, the year I received it 257K MQM's and $94K spend, 10 business class flights

@A1 are those 129k miles translated into redeemable miles? If so 65k of spending seems like a ton to get 5 RT flights in the us...

Ah got it. What does that roughly translate to in redeemable miles?

Oh wow. Got it. Makes sense. Thanks!

McK1 Those 129k are irrelevant, it would be calculated based on the $65k. So 715k redeemable (11x)

Do you keep GS just for a year like all the other levels?

Yep. You normally get the email during a December for activation in February

I got mine mid-year because of crazy spend on the first few months. But that's rare. You get it for a year, and if you don't make it the following year you get 1K no matter what (even if you don't fly). Nice step down

But... spend? Haha 😉

BCG1 - my first year of mileage plus, they made me start from scratch (moved from aeroplan so *A), those first three months were awful ;).... made GS in December

Mostly J class ....

Has anybody gotten GS w/o international J or F? Curious if it's even possible

Register with Europe as home address, but in reality be US based. Lower thresholds over there.
