Wow - these increases are huge.
US - Europe now 220K in F on *A and 160K in F on UA (was 135K on both).
UA F isn't worth 160K miles to Europe and now 220K for LH F makes that impractical.

I guess the difference between UA metal and *A metal rewards is that UA premium services are so bad compared to other carriers - that people would book UA then switch to the other carriers when they opened inventory.

I was doing most of my credit card charging on Chase for UA miles rather then Citibank for AA miles. But now I may need to rethink that.

I'm only sitting on about 65k miles for a Y award and not looking forward to a 15k increase to SEAsia
Many people are waiting for this answer.
