I’ve been flying United for the past six months and I’m still Silver. The route I take each week is short but expensive. Currently have the PQD to be 1K, but PQM/PQS of high silver. Anything I can do?

I’ve had two international business trips on alliance members as well. At this rate I’ll barely break gold by the end of the year.

Have this same problem but I’ve been flying the route all year. Going to hit plat status on 12/20 w/segments, but I exceeded 1K PQDs months ago. It sucks, but there’s nothing to be done

Mileage run

The only way around it is to switch to an airline that earns points based on revenue not miles

Southwest does

Never take a direct flight. That way you double your PQSs. That's the fastest way short of buying PQMs. Not sure if those are worth it...

Lol who has the time

Mileage run time. Fly to Asia for cheap. Flights to Beijing can be had for cheap.

smart

Was wondering if there were any programs I could leverage, or people I could talk to get a higher status based on my spend

Take the long route to the client more often?

Same here, will end up just barely qualifying for Gold on segments 😂

Same problem here, been flying united all year but still at silver. Do the PQD or PQS get carried over to next year?

No

I know United sells miles.. Check with United if you can buy miles that qualify as PQM.

Do you guys not have status challenges specifically for your firm?

The worst year (maybe) was when I earned 1K on segments on a regional jet without F 😭

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?
