Program details

After you have successfully submitted the required documentation and we have confirmed you meet the criteria to participate in the Premier Status Match offer, you will be upgraded to Premier Silver, Premier Gold, Premier Platinum, or Premier 1K status for 120 days (the “Challenge Period”), based on the level you hold in your current frequent flyer program, within five to seven business days after completing an Activating Flight. An "Activating Flight" is a flight operated by United or United Express® that is completed within 90 days after the documentation that you submit for this offer is approved and the flight is posted to your MileagePlus account. Members who successfully submit their request and complete an eligible flight on the same calendar date will have that flight considered as their Activating Flight unless they elect to look back at the prior 30 days for an earlier eligible flight. A member can make this election by selecting this option in the application at the time of document submission. Individuals who do not complete an Activating Flight in the required time period will no longer be eligible for the Premier Status Match offer and are not eligible to again submit for a Premier Status Match in the same calendar year.

The following is a partial list of carriers that we match to.
