to me the UA strategy is simple, earn more miles now, we'll charge you more later. It's back loaded, DRDM & TRDM are a great way to build account balances, we'll bill you later. Pretty clearly that's the plan.


Puts a premium on CR1 & SWUs.

Am I right, saver TALT B tix went from 80K miles to 105K miles? If you figure about $.01 per mile that's a $250 hit (+30%!)
