Wow - November 27th. This may be the latest in the year ever that this post has been made. Stand by for 400+ posts of why they will/won't should/shouldn't.

Hope they do, of course.

The question was asking about 2013, so this is actually "early".

Although the answer to all those posts is going to be the same. The current UA airline is not the old UA airline which offered DEQM. CO never offered DEQM... they didn't have to because they had Elite Maximizer.

DEQM is always available in the "new UA" for a fee. And because of this, as long as Elite Maximizer exists, UA will never do a "free" systemwide DEQM offer. They may do a few targeted offers at various target groups they want to impact (non-elites and Silvers (who they want to fly more), people in a particular location or particular route) that competes with other airlines), etc.)

Which is as it should be.

Double EQM for 2013?
What is the normal timeframe for announcing the following years MP program rules? Eager to see how good/bad it will be. I made 1K for the first (maybe last) time ever......

It is late this year (usually done by now).

Is AA doing it because some of their customers got scared by all of the bankruptcy business? I may be UAneeCO but I don't believe in being owed anything. I figure that downgrading is the simply the way of the times--inflation and watering down with the massive growth in population of elites. Actually I was UA elite and then switched to CO elite, only to be adopted back by UA in the merger. So is that UAneeCOneeUA? Actually, UAneCOneUA since I've never been female.

That may not mean much since the new UA has barely existed for just one year. CO used to make new offerings of DEQM from time to time at random times of the year. Is the new UA a mutant combination of the two old traditions?
The real beauty was the months after 9/11 in 2001. Awards were offered for half the number of miles for a while because people were afraid to step on planes. My elite status that year was extended gratis into the next year. How's that for an alternative to DEQM?
