I flew US for the first time in a while last week (last-minute purchase and UA/CO was much higher priced) and was offered $100 MSP-CLT F out; $50 IAD-CLT and $100 CLT-MSP back.
Wasn't on a cheapo fare to begin with, but no status on US and I DEFINITELY displaced some other US elites.
Seems like this is just another of the new airline things.
