/CHICAGO

United's standard status match demands 5-20 flights; this Chicago-targeted version needs just 2 United or United Express flights into or out of ORD. PQP thresholds are unchanged (1,700 for Silver, 3,400 for Gold, etc.), but PQP from credit card spend counts toward the challenge. The welcome offer on a United Club Business card gives 2,000 PQP, enough to lock Silver on its own. You must register by September 30, 2026, then take an activating ORD flight within 90 days to start the 120-day matched status.
