Of course pmCO flyers who spend a few hundred dollars a year for their Presidential Plus credit cards are exempt from the spend requirements, while pmUA people who have been spending the same money (or more) for their MP Club cards or directly for club membership are not. This management team is not at all embarrassed about the consistent favoritism they show for the own people. I personally have no great objection to this new spend requirement, but somehow they've managed to again remind me that my many years of loyalty to UA now mean less than nothing!
