Given the fares I've seen, I'd say high-yield... whether elite or not. A transcon S fare (e.g. SFO-BWI) is $448 in late July... that's at least 50% higher than it was off-peak.

Only if the DEQM promo requires a higher fare. Many (most?) of the DEQM promos UA has run in past years have been applicable to
all fares.
