#265 - United MileagePlus Status Challenge wurde bei aufgelegt. Sie richtet sich besonders an Vielflieger bei Delta Air Lines Medallion und American Airlines. Die Vergangenheit hat aber gezeigt, das Mitglieder die mit anderen Fluggesellschaften versucht haben zu matchen, auch erfolgreich waren. Einziges Ausschlusskriterium ist aber der Versuch zu matchen mit einem anderen Status von einem Star Alliance Mitglied. Auch solltet ihr an keine Challenge in den letzten 5 Jahren teilgenommen haben.

“An agent informed me she was making an exception and correcting the problem…(by refunding)…me back 65,000 miles and then proceeded to take out 15,000 more.”

After Richard's Bonvoy'd anniversary trip battle of wills, it seems like Ed Pizza is set to give him a run for his money. This week's program that is behaving badly is none other than United MileagePlus. Ed recounts all the headaches and hassles from spending 9 hours on the phone for a simple route change request, only to have 170k miles just go missing. Just goes to show that no matter your status level, sometimes you can't get any love. This week the fellas also dish up an intro to manufactured spend. Best case example? Richard spending $10,000 at a Dollar General in one transaction! Tune in to hear the benefits and risks associated with this type of earning strategy.
