MileagePlus Account Information Because this upgrade provides the same promotional benefits as a United status match, accounts that have previously received a status match or promotional upgrade may not be eligible for another upgrade on the same account for 5 years.If this applies to you, we can automatically create a new United MileagePlus account and apply the upgraded status to that account instead. You would then receive your status benefits under a different MileagePlus account number.

After this “activating flight” is completed, your upgraded status will typically become active within 1–4 business days.
