At worst I'm hoping to score a UA mileage "challenge" when DC finally leaves *A. This is not a straight up status match and I've already asked them (somewhere back in this thread) but the good folks over at UA told me I'd have to wait until bmi/DC fully leaves *A before they will accept me.
At best they'll sweep up orphaned DC members with some kind of special offer and a straight up match.
UA is far from the best FFP but for me the main attractors right now are:
- non expiry of miles
- one way redemptions (compared to US)
- nice bonuses once you have status with them and fly UA metal (25%,50%,75%,100%)
- 50k for gold is pretty easy to get/maintain for me and I can probably even manage 1k with a bit of effort.
- E+ on UA flights
Bad points are:
- It's UA
