Anyone have recent experience with what it takes to make United global services? I've been 1k most of this year and fly almost weekly to CA from NY, every other month to Europe.

Find a way to spend ~50k. Should be straightforward if you are flying first!

I fly first to/from Europe but not domestic unless I'm on a Redeye. Since I work on the plane it seems stupid to waste money on business class. But I should get to $50k pretty soon anyway because I fly all the time.

It's not just spend. It's profitability. I got it off ~40k of high margin (refundable first) fares.

It has a lot to do with probability and $/mile. I made it a couple years in a row with relatively low spend out of sfo but since I was taking last minute international business flights my $/mile was quite high.

$/mile is the answer. Unlikely to get it if you spend $60k in discounted economy flights but if you spend $40k on full refundable first you should be good.

D1 - I know, that's why I figured someone here would have an answer. Thanks BCG3, makes sense.
