One Mile At A Time: "United MileagePlus has a published status challenge program, which is currently valid for requests received through December 20, 2024."
"With this program, you can have your status matched for a period of 120 days, and then your status can be extended based on qualifying activity within that period. As it stands, United is offering this program in order to earn Premier Silver, Premier Gold, and Premier Platinum status."
"Officially it’s not possible to get a status match to Premier 1K, though anecdotally there are many reports of top tier elites with other airlines getting matched to this. Global Services matches aren’t possible, however."
Points Wire Note:
If your current airline status is expiring and/or you plan on flying United more often, this could be worth it. Just keep in mind that you can only request a match with United every five years.
Also, you'll want to make sure you can hit the challenge requirements within 120 days of matching to extend your status. If you match after July 1, 2024 and meet the challenge requirements, your status will be valid until 2026.
