So, for the perspective of a 1k:
Pros:
UDU on Award Tickets
United Club Passes
Additional mileage beyond $25,000
Cons:
2 points vs 3 for UACO purchases
No more EQM options
Not yet clear:
Fee waiver for 1k's
Irrelevant:
Baggage fee
Boarding priority
Last available seat (though I hope this doesn't mean expanding availability of the 1k saver award inventory)
Expiration ($95 a year quite the upkeep fee anyways)
Am I missing anything?
Domestic UDU would be nice on awards, but I never redeem domestically anyways. If there's no fee waiver I'm out.
