United has announced the 2024 Milage Plus program changes:
We want to stay loyal to our MileagePlus® members because you’ve remained loyal to us. That’s why the Premier® program requirements will not change in 2024. You will not have to earn more Premier qualifying points (PQP) or take more Premier qualifying flights (PQF) to get status. We’re also making it easier to earn PQP with United MileagePlus credit cards issued by Chase.
2024 status requirements
- Silver: 12 PQF + 4k PQP, OR 5k PQP
- Gold: 24 PQF + 8k PQP, OR 10k PQP
- Platinum: 36 PQF + 12k PQP, OR 15k PQP
- Premier 1K: 54 PQF + 18k PQP, OR 24k PQP
Credit card spend
Here are the changes we’re making in 2024 to help you earn more PQP on United MileagePlus credit cards issued by Chase*:
- Cardmembers will now earn 25 PQP for every $500 in qualifying card spend on eligible MileagePlus credit cards.
- All card-earned PQP will now count toward each status level, including the PQP-only requirement for Premier 1K® status*.
- We’re increasing the total PQP amount you can earn annually with the United ClubSM Infinite Card. In 2024, you can earn up to 10,000 PQP from qualifying purchases on your United Club Infinite Card, up from 8,000 PQP in 2023.
- We’re removing the annual cap of 15,000 PQP that you can earn from qualifying spend across multiple eligible United MileagePlus credit cards issued by Chase.
Jumpstart
We’re giving current Premier members a head start in 2024 with automatic PQP deposits. All members with full Premier status on February 1, 2024, will get extra PQP added to their account. The number of PQP is based on status level.
- Silver members – 250 PQPs
- Gold members – 500 PQPs
- Platinum members – 750 PQPs
- Premier 1K members – 1,250 PQPs
Thoughts
No change in status requirements for 2024 + easier to earn if you’re willing to spend on the cobranded Chase cards. Not bad all around. We can still see the transition to more spending. I’d guess this was done to take advantage of the upsetting Delta changes.
