Pretty Disappointed with this announcement.....
I was all settled in for a mileage run to top off the EQM and hit 1K again, as I didn't get to explore as much of the world through my employment this year as in prior years. I've always saved the CR1's to treat my wife to F going to Hawaii (I know the product is minimalistic compared to Intl. F [ on very rare occasions these days ], but)....
Anyway, while I like the UDU's, the reduction in CR1's is making me think long hard about the MR to top off. I only spend $15K to 20K per year with UA, so its not a huge deal to them if I switch but it seems short sighted of US to target their top flyers with this change and of course the poor folks who hit 1K on segments.
I'm sure questioning my loyalty to UA with this turn of events.
