Premier Gold: The third Status in the MileagePlus loyalty program in terms of benefits
MileagePlus is a rewards program for United Airlines passengers. By becoming a member, the passenger is entitled to receive bonus miles, which can then be spent on partner flights, upgrades, services and products.
To be able to earn miles for air travel, you must acquire a membership card. By reaching a certain bonus threshold, the customer will be offered a card of the next level including Gold status.
Free upgrade to Business or First class (more legroom) and access to a superior lounge for yourself and an additional passenger, … and other benefits and privileges that await you by obtaining the Gold card.
Gold cardholders benefit from a unique service program. Anytime, anywhere in the world, MileagePlus agents are ready to book airfare, hotel accommodations, restaurants and arrange other services for you, or advise you on any problem related to your membership in this loyalty program, and to Gold status.
Upon reaching the gold level, your status in your personal account will be automatically updated, a card will be immediately issued and sent to the contact address indicated in your personal account.
How to get the Gold Status ?
The basic level is issued upon registration. A MileagePlus card is issued. To qualify for the Gold membership level, you must earn certain qualifying miles and points.
In order to achieve Gold status, which grants access to important benefits and privileges, the passenger must accumulate 16 PQF (Premier qualifying flights) and 6,000 PQP (Premier qualifying point), or 7,000 PQP only.
