Thanks in advance !i am literally 290 points from 400k and the ability to bestow plat status on someone....I THINK i'll get it in a couple of weeks when my last CC statement for the year posts
SWUs are almost useless though..."systemwide" my ass
I just got the UNited Quest credit card. I put everything on that. I’ve got 150k miles in about 5 mths. 70k miles deposited after spending 4k in the first 3 monthsAnyone have tips or tricks to amassing United miles?
I get to fly solo to DC in June (NO KIDS! JUST RESPONSIBLE FOR MYSELF! THE FREEDOM IS OVERWHELMING!) and want to upgrade as much as possible without paying crazy for it.
Do you have any of the United credit cards already? If you can run $5k through it between now and then the United Club card has an 80k sing up bonus and will get you lounge access.Anyone have tips or tricks to amassing United miles?

I have a Chase Sapphire Reserve and Preferred already, and have about 35k points between them that I know I can transfer over to United, so I'm not really wanting to do another high annual fee card.Do you have any of the United credit cards already?

There's like a $500 or $600 dollar annual fee iirc, but that's not due until you've had the card for a year so you can probably product change to a different card after your trip (assuming you no longer have a need for the United card).

...also, between now and June I honestly don't think we'll have 5k of consumer spending. We just bought new appliances which would have been a big thing (obviously), but otherwise we just spend out the butt on daycare costs and we can't put them on a credit card. We'd be swimming in miles if we could.
Dad?My 9 am flight has been delayed to 1130….
Yet I still feel the need to get to the airport early in case they change it back.
I gifted gold to my wife and one of my sons already. My other 20 y/o may get this one - he’s flying to Prague for spring break so he’d get some benefitYah , for me it’s tempting to gift to your spouse so you get more miles, but it’s probably more valuable to give to a client or business partner.
What do you suggest I do for a trip to Japan in April. Already booked premium economy, and a flagship first flight was like $4-8k more at time of booking, but now offer is $1,100 per seat for a 12 hour flight.
Are the new changes effective tomorrow where I’d get points for paying for the upgrade ?
Or should I call and request to upgrade with points ?
Or if neither is it worth it to upgrade ? I’d probably do it if I were flying solo….
