Thanks skywalkerLAX!!

I was confused what the *A was.

I am so frustrated with United.

I wish I would have done the AA Plat. challange last year.

Like you said, I am stuck with either AA or UA. Being they do not match and now charge $150, I don't see the benefit in my book.

Guess I am stuck with UA.

Cheers and thanks for the speedy response!
