I'm about $1000 PQP away from making it from United Gold to United Platinum for 2022.

Is it worth it to upgrade my IAD-SFO RT flight to first class for $1000 RT to make it to the next tier?

Is United still halting full meal service for first class flights > 2 hrs? Website says they just serve sandwiches and a snack box.

I’ve received meals on IAH-IAD and IAH-ORD. On a cross country flight you should be fine.

Honestly had same debate a few years back UA*G to *P by paying for accelerator. Partner convinced me not to do it. Following year ended up making P- honestly G to P very very little difference. P to 1k however could be worth it depending on travel habits

Can’t you get cross country upgrades and certificates with platinum? I get upgraded on gold but only on 3 hr flights or less

I would say max we could do is 1.5 weeks but adding on 3-5 more days seems almost too much? Thoughts?
