Both are fair & balanced and are achieveable with minimal effort on UAs part, but might mean a lot to many loyal UA customers.
Part 2 was never promised nor offered as having 1P+ benefits. The CR1 options wasn't presented before, and ranking ahead of others who have hit the 75k mark wasn't presented before (although there are many who believe that MM status 1P somehow trumps a current 1P, I have seen no evidence to suggest that it does...it may, but I haven't seen any documentation that I can recall stating such, nor based on anecdotal experience either.) AFAIK a 1P on a B fare trumps a million miler 1P on a V fare. This change will have a 1P+ on any fare trumping a 1P on even the highest fare.

I see no fundamental error in your part 1, nor any reason other than programming why it couldn't be offered.
