Haven't made a post here in quite a while but it seems that the evidence is plain for all to see now.

I will state again what I have said before:

2 MM status is absolutely worthless--Just got it too, thanks to an error in recalculating my miles on the conversion. Whoopee!

If you want evidence of just how valuable Premier Platinum (should be Premier Plomo IMHO) is, just look at the threads describing how GSs are being treated in the upgrade queue now:

GSs are being treated worse than 1Ps used to be and PP is evidently just about as valuable as the old 2P.

Fabulous move Mr. Jeff. Way to get a 25 year UA flyer seriously shopping for Z fares on other carriers for the first time in my life!
