I am platinum on United Airlines and today received an email that I was being upgraded to 1k for the remainder of the year. I only have 70 segments and 53k miles so far this year. I'll take it 🙌

Where do you live ?

I got an email upgrading me to silver yesterday. I haven't flown united in 2016 and I flew them 3 times max in 2015. Was very confused.

Bain- as did someone on my team. Maybe they're desperate for business?

Must be!

I'm out of a hub I can't really see myself getting this. I thought gold would be ok so I did a mile sage run last year just to make gold but going from 1k down to gold sucks. Group 2 boarding is the worst !!!! I want my 1k back so jelly

Strategy 🐠, I'm curious about your day-to-day, and overall work what you actually do. Can you share?
I do business transformation and change management, but I'm curious to get into that side.

Is the bulk of your work slide making and creating a story to tell executives? How much data crunching, or data analysis do you do? On a project, what do you spend your time doing? A lot of research? Interviews?
Sorry I genuinely don't know and would like to know if I would enjoy the day-to-day work
