LX EU to LAX/SFO 440EUR r/t
LX has low fares on different EU - West Coast flights, e.g. AMS - ZRH - SFO - ZRH - AMS für a little under EUR 440 with good connections times, wide availability in March, possibly more. Booking through UA has decreased the prices further in some special cases by about EUR 20.

Book on LX/LH- $460
EQM: 12,430 (w/o 500 mi min)
RDM: 6,215
Book on UA with 016 ticket - ~$440? = $340 PQD (based on the one I saw)
EQM: 12,430 (w/o 500 mi min)
RDM: 3,740 (for a 1K)
$20 for 2,500 RDM? I'd pay it.
I don't really see the benefit of booking on UA.com for this deal. For me as a gold, it'd be even more RDM for $20. Gimme gimme! Plus the possible hassle of not being able to assign seats, etc.

Curious about the mileage earning math here. Looks like these are booking into K, which is pretty standard for LX. If crediting to UA:
