Need about 850 PQP for United 1k next year. Worth it? Might have a work trip between now and end of year, but might not. This translates to having to spend about $850, correct?

$850 of spend excluding taxes & airport fees etc, realistically it’s $1-1.1k depending on the airports you fly in/out of.

When you're booking the flight on united.com, you can click "show accruals" (or something like that) in the flight list to see exactly how many PQPs you'll get for that leg.

like

It's possible to book international flights with United partners, where the rules for calculating PQP are distance-based rather than revenue-based. This can often let you get PQPs for less than a dollar out-of-pocket. But you're still going to be spending 500+ unless you find a far better deal than I've ever found.

If you travel quite a bit, especially internationally, 1k is well worth it. I used to travel internationally a lot and always got upgraded from Business to First once I was 1k.

The comments here are insightful. United status has always been a puzzle for me.

Definitely not worth it. Don’t do it. Too many 1ks out there to start with 😅

All depends on your planned travel next year. If traveling domestic US between United hubs, 1k status doesn’t count for much. International travel might make it worthwhile

1K is hilariously overrated. Source: me.

Can someone point me to some material where I can read about profit sharing vs 401k. I get the concept, but I am trying to understand is 10% profit sharing vested over 5 years better than an employee 401k match of 6%?

From my understanding 10% PS is better because it’s just a standard 10% on top of whatever I contribute though it takes 5 years to vest. Does this mean if I leave before 5 years I don’t get any of it?
