What's your take on new requirements for United 1K (the PQS)? With Deloitte Travel tickets heavily discounted, I think it is next to impossible to hit 1K as easy as before now. Even on long flights.

I thought Deloitte lets you book first class for domestic. Even with discounted first, you should still be able to hit if you’re a frequent traveler.

funny

I'm on 7+ hrs flight. West to East with layover. There is no such thing as business class. Even at 1K, you barely make it to the list of top 10 waiting for upgrade

It’s not a loyalty program anymore. It’s a most profitable customers program now. That being said I’ll still hit it pretty easily

I would be more okay with the changes if we could rollover PQP, but that's not happening. There are PQP run opportunities out there if you search partner airlines' specialty fare products, though.

I love it. Just completed one international trip and already have 11,500 PQP. Happy not to have to grind out domestic trips just to meet the PQS threshold.

It's relatively easy if you fly ~$500-700 roundtrips to secondary cities, or if you are a regular premium transcon/intercontinental traveler.

Pretty tough for a lot of road warriors who mostly fly lowish fare routes.

Flew 170 segments last year and only got to $20k in spend, so yea I'm not a huge fan.

The cumulative margin on me was far greater. I spent $30k on transoceanic flights last year, only about 12 segments.

Not a fan either. I liked the idea of rewarding time and not just high margin flyers.

Now tell me...which one of you consulted United with this aweful idea which eventually impacted ourselves?! 🤣
