Has anyone ever negotiated with United for a higher status tier based solely on spend? I won’t get to platinum on miles, and just short on segments, but going to be well covered on spend

It’s called Global Services - and if you qualify they’ll let you know. Don’t call us, we’ll call you.

Always worth an email

Many times. It doesn't work. Spend isn't meant to be a qualifier, just a safeguard against gaming miles/segs.

:(

Yeah, tried. $25k spend at the time with 70k miles (5k to platinum) said “hell, no!” Probably now making 1K on miles. Fuck United.

I have offers from both United Health Group and Atlassian for a Senior Financial Analyst position. Similar Comp (Atlassian slightly higher due to stock options). Coming from another healthcare company as a SFA, does anyone have experience at either company? In the long term, does Atlassian look better on a resume/work experience due to the Tech/Software space? Seems like their culture is great, but a much higher work load due to the nature of the company. Thanks! Happy to answer DM's too
