What would you do? Currently I have Premier Platinum status with United Airlines, but I haven’t flown enough in 2022 to renew this status for 2023. I have reached Premier Silver for 2023 and will be 279 PQP short from making Premier Gold with my planned flights for the remainder of the year. I can earn 1 PQP for every dollar spent on United Subscriptions, but the only suitable option that will get me enough PQPs is $600 for United Club. Should I get the Club membership to obtain gold status?

Gold is where status actually kicks in imo, so it might be worth considering if you have a decent amount of travel planned on UA next year.

Can you rebook that flight into a higher fare class and get your PQP from that one trip? If not, consider wasting a few hours one weekend morning doing a mileage run on the cheapest shortest round trip flight you can find.

The United customer support said any fare/seat upgrades count towards my PQP, so I upgraded to first class and I’m hoping that’s enough to renew my gold status.

Additional context: I only have one weekend free for the rest of the year that I could book a trip for, but I don’t think I’d earn enough PQP for the destination I’d like to fly to. Another option for earning PQPs is getting the United Explorer credit card, but I don’t want to open a new line of credit since I’m about to buy a house.

After further review it turns out that the club subscription doesn’t not count towards PQP
