How long will it take to receive my Premier 1K status?

After your purchase, your status upgrade will begin processing within one business day. We'll send you an email confirmation when processing begins.

Your account will be upgraded within 1-3 business days of purchase.

How long will my Premier 1K status be valid for?

Your status is valid until December 31, 2024.

After December 31, 2024, how can I renew my status?

To renew your Premier 1K status, we'd love your business again.

Due to United system limitations, we can’t apply this direct upgrade to the same MileagePlus account multiple times, so the renewal must be applied to a new MileagePlus account that we'll create for you. You'll simply maintain Premier 1K status on a different MileagePlus account number.

Am I guaranteed to receive all the posted benefits on every flight?

That depends! For perks that rely on space being available on the plane, like first class upgrades, you’ll receive the upgrade if complimentary upgrade seats are available to status-holders.

You’ll always receive other perks, like free checked bags and lounge access, as long as you hold status.

Is this a status match challenge?

This upgrade is not a status match, but grants the same promotional benefits as a status match on United's systems. This means you may extend the duration of your status by meeting United's public status match challenge requirements. For more information on this method to extend your status, please get in touch!

If I've already had a status match on my United MileagePlus account, am I eligible to purchase this upgrade?

Because this upgrade grants the same promotional benefits as a status match on United's systems, if you have already had a status match, we're unable to apply this upgrade to your existing account.

However, we can automatically create a new United MileagePlus account for you, which we're able to upgrade. You'll simply receive Premier 1K status on a different MileagePlus account number. For more information, please get in touch!

Do you need any other account information to process my status?

We process this upgrade by applying a corporate promotion to your United account, which grants your purchased status. We need your account credentials to add the promotion to your account. 

We'll automatically request your credentials after you place your order. Your credentials are stored securely using bank-grade encryption and are removed from our systems after your upgrade is complete.

As a precaution, we recommend changing your credentials after your upgrade is complete.

Where does my status upgrade come from?

Please see our frequently asked questions page for more information.

What do I need to do to receive my status?

After submitting your account information, you're done! Your purchase includes a direct upgrade to Premier 1K status on your United MileagePlus account.

Completing a minimum number of flight miles or segments, meeting a minimum spend, or meeting any other challenge to receive the upgrade is not required.
