They are setting themselves up for all kinds of pain here.

Any comment UAInsider? Why so hostile toward frequent fliers? You would think that after all the attacks on FFers, they wouldn't be pulling stuff like this.
I could be wrong but I think this has been the policy for quite some time especially when it comes to partner airlines.

If this is new or just newly added wording to the website then I would expect a change in mileage accrual rates very soon and could be quite drastic. That is just the doomsdayist in me
