We were able to get United Premier Associate status from someone on Ebay for a very reasonable cost a couple of years ago. Our time is running out and I was looking to see what is available. I can't find any auctions for this right now on Ebay. Does the program still allow United customers to confer status on others? Any idea where to look? We just like the extra leg room in economy plus! :whoopie:
 
Conferring 3P status is still available, but it's illegal to sell it. United--and other airlines--regularly patrol ebay for violators.
 
Sellers and buyers can both have their ff accounts cancelled if the airline catches on, and they look for these things.

The reason you won't see them on ebay for awhile is that folks have to hit a certain number of miles flown in 2009 before they can nominate someone. I think the minimum is 35K. You'll see them appear later this Spring. Keep your eyes open. :)
 
3p

Things have changed too. It used to be you could nominate anyone to be a 3p. NOW it has to be a general member. So if you were 3P last year you are out of luck for gettting to be 3P this year. I got around that by nominating my daughter's(who I gave 3P status last year) child (my GC).
 
You're right, Jim. I tried to nominate my husband but since he was nominated in 2008, I couldn't give it to him again.
 
going rate

The growing rate was probably your Mileage Plus account and all the miles in it. United montiors this and if it is found you engaged in this, they are likely to close your account. Believe me- it wasnt worth it.
