Ok so let me get this straight? We'll get the same bonuses at a Gold member and will now have to use more miles to fly to Hawaii? Seroiusly...i'm failing to see the increased costs anymore as Oil is going down and CO has reduced the flying just about everywhere? Is this more about aligning with UA?
No matter the fact, both of us are considering going to Delta this year...we don't like Star and we're not liking the "scr*w the customer" attitude at CO. Although I thank CO for their generousity over the years, my experiences lately have been basically a smidge better than US Airways.
