I bet if you asked UA unlimited wouldn't be used in the specific title, rather they would simply say regional upgrade. The potential to earn unlimited regional upgrades doesn't define the title. Nevertheless, many terms are FT specific, and if used with many UA staff, you would get a "what?" in response, fastair being a noted exception. Splitting hairs though, I really don't care what they call them, all I know is that I will only earn 4 in 2012, instead of my normal 8 based on 100k of travel. I'm not happy, like many others.

Of course in 2012 I will be using the 12 CR1's/URU's that I earn in 2011, plus my remaining SWU's. 2013 will be the year of pain, not as many CR1's in the bank...
