It sounds like it's only every 25k if you're already 1P Plat or higher that year.
This is a serious slap in the face for those of us who made 1K for the first time this year. Look at the old rules (6+ months ago):
- earn 2 CR-1's by flying 10k miles per quarter, even if it's the quarter you make 1K and you flew before you made 1K
- the next full year, earn 2 CR-1's every quarter you fly 10k miles
Under those rules, I could have earned 2 CR-1s this quarter and up to 8 more next year by flying a total of 40k miles. Now, I have to fly 75k next year to earn ANY. I went from up to 10 to 0.
Combine that with increasingly worthless SWUs and the fact that E+ and UDU are going to be harder to get on UA metal now that CO elites are folded in, and this just makes it all a complete waste.
