Should be interesting if they ever get their act together and see how many airports I'm checking in at ... without any UA flights.
I "left" United on May 31 ... I'm curious how long it will take for the systems to "notice" that I'm not flying UA anymore?

I'm sure they are going to call you in a Few weeks and wonder where you've been.

Seriously, I'm curious to see what kind of offers/emails/communications are generated. The old UA had marketing systems that used business rules triggered by events and trends, have to think CO has that too?
I havent been to Starbucks in a while, got a gift card in the mail with a big carrot (vs a stick) on it. Very clever. I got a "we miss you" call from Nordstrom today letting me know about the Men's half-yearly sale next weekend. Personal and friendly.
I've spent exponentially more dollars (and years) with UA, so the marketer side of me is really interested in what kind of retention/reactivation efforts the new UA will employ.
