Yea, this one hurt. I actually have 63k miles and recently cancelled my United cc. I had enough for the one way business I needed, now I don't. Might have to call to reinstate the visa. Tough devaluation.

Lurker, if I book a United StarAlliance award before Feb 1, but then want to make changes to it after, will the mileage requirement be different? Or just the change fee?

Wow, the biggest % jumps are in Star Alliance First class. The miles required for these routes moved significantly. Why would these routes be affected so much more (on a % basis), then the other classes of service?
