WOW! You guys pay good! I pay my sitters what I got paid when I sat; $3.00 an hour! Or, sometimes we have a sitter come over after our son goes to bed at arounf 9:00 while we go out dancing. We usually don't gewt home until around 2 or 3 a.m. so we just pay $20 for the night.
Review your travel periodically. Generally, Global Services members attain elite Mileage Plus status. The top level in the Mileage Plus program requires a 100,000 annual mileage minimum. A Global Services invitation will arrive if you become one of United's best customers. Frequent international travel in paid first class or business class offers a better opportunity to reach Global Services status.
Each certificate is good for 500 miles of upgrade, so a 1,400mile flight, would use 3 certificates to upgrade. In addition, Mileage Plus members can use accumulated miles to upgrade, the amount of miles depends on the route, and ticket classification. Some fairs are not upgradeable at all. On the United.com website, you must log-in, select your itinerary, and chose the upgrade option. At this point, you can select certificates, or miles. If you use miles, you will be either upgraded immediately, depending on inventory, or placed on the wait list.
