> pre-pay $250k towards airfare for your company, or $50k personally

I’ve never heard of the prepayment for GS option, and those numbers seem low. Do you have a source for that?

Yes, it's called the PassPlus program [1]. I don't believe United publishes the status perks online, but you can see the full terms on the FlyerTalk thread wiki [2].

    Investment Levels
    
    Individual Plans
    Minimum $25,000 - Complimentary Premier Gold
    $35,000 - Complimentary Premier Platinum
    $45,000 - Complimentary Premier 1K
    $50,000 - Complimentary Global Services
    
    Corporate Plans
    Minimum $50,000 - 1x Premier Gold, 1x Premier Silver, 4x United Club Annual Memberships
    $100,000 - 1x Premier Platinum, 2x Premier Gold, 3x United Club Annual Memberships
    $300,000 - 1x Premier 1K, 1x Premier Platinum, 3 Premier Gold, 6x United Club Annual Memberships
(Looks like they've changed the corporate options since last I looked at it. I am sure that there is still a level of corporate spend that comes with GS memberships but it may more closer to $500k than $250k.)
