Curious to see how many UA flyers, like myself, decided to stick with UA through the end of the year and haven't decided who they're going with for 2013. I didn't learn about the AA matches until mid-summer of this year and by then I had most of my travel planned on UA through this year's end. Many told me that AA wouldn't match me if I waited until next year, but it looks like they are still offering a match and I'm still interested, but haven't pulled the trigger yet as I'm waiting to see what changes, if any, there are to Mileage Plus. I fly out of AUS mostly, and the 8 usable upgrades vs 6 hard-to-use upgrades are really making it tough for me to justify sticking with UA. I don't really want to leave, as I'm comfortable with UA and generally like them, but I don't love UA so much that I'm willing to spend more money for the chance to sit up front on long hauls that I'm paying out of pocket.
