Coming around to US
I was looking closely at UA but US is starting to appeal a little more after reading suggestions here.

- Bonus miles on US, LH and UA/CO operated flights depending on status level (25, 50, 75, 100% bonuses)
- You can buy up to preferred status levels if you are a few miles short
- Status and award miles on Virgin Atlantic flights
- No US metal requirement for status

On the downside:
- no E+
- Talk of them leaving *A

Not sure about the burn rates, on face value they appear ok but it is not clear if these are return (I assume they are) or one-way. This popup is confusing me too "One-way award travel reservations are available for the same number of miles as a roundtrip award travel"
