United Airlines Mileage Plus Elite Status

United offers a 3-tiered Elite program with Premier status gained at 25,000 miles (or 30 segments), Premier Executive at 50,000 miles (or 60 segments) and 1K at 100,000 miles (or 100 segments). Note that if you think you’ll be flying about 75,000 miles this year, you’ll hit top status on most programs but only mid-tier status on United.

In lieu of the Continental unlimited free upgrade model United offers four 500-mile E-Upgrades for every 10,000 miles flown. While this may seem like a downgraded perk, many travelers report that you can actually use those upgrades, where Continental’s unlimited program means you’ll likely find yourself sitting in the back.

Elite members also have mileage-earning caps waived on their Mileage Plus Visa card, and (like other airlines) they do not need to pay bag check fees (United raised their second bag fee to $50, so that benefit can add up.)

On less-restricted fares, all Elite members have access to free upgrades to Economy Plus, a nice benefit considering it offers almost as much legroom as Northwest’s Business Class service on its DC-9s.

1K members will also find additional reward seat inventory available to them, though note that Northwest and Continental offer this perk to all Elite members.

How to Get Elite Status without Flying: On United, your best bet is to become friends with someone who flies 30,000 miles a year with United. Anyone who flies 30k miles can nominate someone to Premier Associate status – essentially the lowest level of Elite. Let your friend do all the work, and you get to enjoy the benefits!

Mileage Expiration

United miles do not expire as long as there is account activity once every 18 months. As with all carriers, you need only to have any activity – not just taking a flight – to keep that account active.
