United is offering me a price of $6,943 to bump up from platinum to 1K for 2026. Not worth it imo but if other elites are wanting to buy up a tier, here’s the link I got:

Is 1k even worth it these days though
I also had a friend get offered a bump up from silver to gold for $1099 or 110k points
When the airlines started asking for money to reward you for loyalty rather than simply reward you for loyalty - is when I know the system was broken.
Also I swore off United this year and switched to a airline I had lower status, but also where the flight crew hated passengers less - and I feel really really good about my decision from my experience so far.
Which airline? All the American ones are kinda awful in the grand scheme of it but although I’m more loyal to AA I haven’t found United that bad. They seem to care a bit more than the AA flight attendants.
