To confirm, there’s no point in holding back from hitting platinum for the sake of having an ample number of MQM rolling over to next year, correct? So I should just go for the plat, enjoy it in 2024, and status match to United for 2025? 🧐

United is not going to let you status match. Everyone is going to be trying to do this same thing and they don’t want to devalue their brand as well

UA status match is a challenge match. It oy gives you temporary status for 120 days (or 90 days). You'll need to spend like $5-$10k within that period depending on which level you want to match into.

How far along are you on mqd and how short on the mqm are you? I’d only carry over a ton of mqd if you’ll have a ton of spend next year that helps with the ‘25 status thresholds + the mqm->mqd calc.

But that’s within reason, I wouldn’t go spend a few grand for plat at this point until some other carriers make a move to open up more challenges/matches. They’ve been very quiet since deltas announcement
