I’m currently United 1K and not going to make it back to 1K (worried I won’t even hit Platinum!). Should I look to status match to Delta or stay the course with United? I looked online but looks like I can get Delta’s top tier if I spend about $3K in 3 months. Need advice!

You can only match up to Platinum Status with Delta, which is not the top Delta tier.

Is there anything I can do to ask United to bump me up? For context, I’m on secondment so not traveling nearly as much as I used to, but will be back to that level when I return to McK

Are you currently outside the US then? If so, I think all you would really want is at least Star Alliance Gold, which gets you lounge access to non-United star alliance members. You only need UA Gold status for that.

It sounds like you should stay the course with United, and when your secondment is done and travel ramps back up, make the case.

Does delta work well with your routes?

I live in NYC, so it matches well enough. United is best for me still

I mean if you like United, stay with United
