The unintended consequence is that UA is discriminating against "single" flyers not claiming a spousal-type significant other, and discriminating doubly against those of us who fly in pairs.

Furthermore, one common definition of significant other includes any person who is important to an individual's well-being. Does UA management really want to be reduced to having to argue that its own limiting definition supersedes this?


That's why I'm hoping UA does the right thing and quickly amends this policy to one that is inclusive rather than discriminatory by including, at the least, some meaningful choices for Million Mile Flyers. @:-)
