EWR is also fortress hub.

How do you have 190k PQM and only $25k PQD flying international business?

^ yup. UA metal for GS

$25k doesn’t make it, the lowest i heard of is in mid-30s

Doubt it. Rumored guideline for minimum spend is $50K. You can qualify with less, but probably not that much less. Do you know your BIS miles on UA metal (i.e. Miles on United operated flights without any multipliers)?

You'd have a better chance with 30k PQM. GS is a $/M status where the $ min is supposed to be around 30k.

Zero. The $$$ tens to be $50k non-hub and $60k hub. Biz/first, especially international, increase the odds.

First year GS qualification is typically around $50k spend. PQM largely irrelevant. You may be able to re-qualify with $30k but that’s pretty low. The lowest I’ve had to requalify was ~$38k and I’m pretty sure I was on the cusp.

BIS miles can factor if your margins are very high. And fwiw I qualified for the first time around $40K

You have almost no chance with less than $50k spend

Oh well... There's really then no incentive to continue on United. Maybe should then switch to another airline. This is all international business so wouldn't miss perks

To where? $25k is only ~3 Euro/US r/t

No

It depends a lot on hub. Where do you fly out of?

My father has been GS for a few years. His first year he was over 60k spend out it EWR.

He used to be a VP at a large engineering firm and now he owns his own international firm.
