Since I am sure United and CO will have the FF programs merged by 2012 why not status match with CO while I still can. I would be shooting for United 1K next year anyway. Thoughts? Strategy?
I think it would be a ghood idea but would get started soon as they may stop accepting matches and force you to contact united directly, It would seen easier to stop accepting any OnePass customers if everything goes to Mileage Plus or viseversa. My guess is Jan 1 2012 is when FF accounts fully merge into 1 as they will start a brand newprogram and be able to get everyone onboard for an exact requirement, and by years end either 1k is getting dropped to 75k or CO plat is 100k. Possibly by the end of the year I think they will annouce requirements for upcoming years elite levels.
This is makes lots of sense and it being United you should probably do the exact opposite of what I say.
