Last year I finally made 1k. Today is my last day as a 1k.

I'll miss:

- CR1's
- SWU's
- boarding early
- a shiny 2012 1k card
- domestic call centers
- bragging rights on this board
- larger payouts due to IRROPS
- additional award availability
- special telephone number to 1k desk
- ability to fly earlier without paying a fee
- free changes to award tickets
- ability to cancel an award and have miles redeposited

Who else will join me in bidding adieu to 1k?
Normal Standby has always been free on UA... Is this no longer the case?
