With all my flights planned on United through the end of year, I'll be only one PQF away from requalifying for United Gold Status. Is it worth an extra $89 and a few hours of my time to reroute myself to BOS on my way to LGA, just so l get the extra PQF to reach Gold? If I don't, I'll be at Silver next year, but idk what material differences are b/t Gold and Silver besides upgrades at 24h instead of 48h. Worth it?

Gold gives you the premier access for check in, group 1 boarding, access to the lounge for international flights, preferred seats for free, more miles, etc

Go for GOLD. In 2022 they may give bonus pqps based on 2021 status. They did this year. Potentially next year too.

For $89, it’s worth it. If $1000, then no

Aren’t they rolling over status in 2022 due to the pandemic?

Interesting

Yes
