Elite Qualifying Miles - Miles toward qualifying for elite status
Elite Qualifying Segments - Segments toward qualifying for elite status
If you reach a certain mileage or segment level, you qualify for a
certain level of elite status. Do you need an explanation of elite
status? The qualificaton and benefit information for elite status is
easily found on the UA website.
I don't now about UA, but lifetime miles on AA get you benefits
1 million miles - Lifetime Gold plus free upgrades (either 4 500 mile
upgrade credit or 4 VIP upgrade credits, depending on country of residence)
2 million miles (and each additional) - 4 VIP upgrades (systemwide)
Your airline membership card (on AA) also shows how many million miles
you have.
You used to also get luggage tags, but I don't think you get them anymore.
In addition to the airlines' webpages, you can find a lot of information
on elite status at flyertalk.com |
